ACMU Society

The ACMU Society (Alternating Current Multiple Unit Society) is a UK railway preservation organisation focused on protecting and promoting the history of AC electric multiple units (EMUs), a part of railway heritage that is often overlooked. It supports restoration, conservation, and public awareness work through partnerships with heritage railways and museums, and is the owner of preserved Class 315 unit 315856, while also supporting vehicles such as Class 309 No. 309624 and Class 317 No. 317345. The society also encourages public involvement through memberships, donations, and project fundraising, helping keep these historic electric trains preserved for future generations.
