The British Rail Advanced Passenger Trains were two experimental train sets that utilized tilting technology, allowing the trains to navigate tight turns at high speeds. Four sets were built, the gas-turbine powered APT-E, and three of the electric powered APT-P.

Unveiled in June 1978, the APT, as it is normally referred to, was an InterCity Development train, uniquely designed to provide faster journey times on the West Coast Main Line, culminating in a passenger relief service between London and Glasgow three days a week between 1983–85.

An advanced design of pantograph, with three-stage suspension, is being developed for APT-P. This is mounted on an anti-tilt mechanism which maintains the pantograph head over the track centre-line.
