A key benefit of operating trains with DVTs is the requirement for fewer locomotives; for example, a second locomotive would otherwise have to join at the other end of the train after arrival at terminal stations to lead the train's onward journey. The Mark 3 DVT was originally designed and produced by [[British Rail Engineering Limited]] (BREL) during the late 1980s and early 1990s. Unlike many other control cars, such as the [[British Railways Mark 2|Mark 2]] [[Driving Brake Standard Open|DBSO]], the DVT visually resembles a locomotive, specifically [[British Rail Class 90|Class 90]] for the 82/1 Mark 3 series and [[British Rail Class 91|Class 91]] for the 82/2 Mark 4 series; thus when the train is operating in push mode, it does not appear to be travelling backwards. The vehicles do not have any passenger accommodation due to health and safety rules in place at the time of construction that prohibited passengers in the leading carriages of trains that run faster than {{convert|100|mph|sigfig=2}}.{{Citation needed|date=October 2019}} Historically, it was believed that a train would be unstable at high speeds unless pulled from the front; however, extensive testing and the experience of high speed trains with central power cars, such as the [[Advanced Passenger Train]] (APT) and the [[British Rail Class 373|Eurostar]], have since altered this view. The later-built Mark 4 DVT was specifically developed to work with the new [[British Rail Mark 4|Mark 4]] carriages of the [[InterCity 225]] on the [[East Coast Mainline]] while the Mark 3 DVT was built to work with the [[British Railways Mark 2|Mark 2]] and [[British Rail Mark 3|Mark 3]] carriages which then comprised the [[InterCity (British Rail)|InterCity]] rolling stock on the [[West Coast Main Line]]. A planned Mark 5 DVT was never produced. Following the [[Privatisation of British Rail]], various private sector train operators have opted to use DVTs in their services. In some cases, such as [[Wrexham & Shropshire]]'s services between [[Marylebone railway station|London Marylebone]] and [[Wrexham General railway station|Wrexham General]] using Mark 3s and [[British Rail Class 67|Class 67]] diesel locomotives, the DVTs required modification to work with new types of locomotives. Other operators have opted to have their DVTs outfitted with [[diesel generator]]s or even traction apparatus, the latter case resulting in the experimental [[British Rail Class 19|Class 19]] locomotive. ==Development== The DVT concept is similar to the [[British Railways Mark 2|Mark 2]] [[Driving Brake Standard Open|DBSO]] but, unlike its predecessor which was rebuilt from existing stock, it was a new build vehicle manufactured specifically for this purpose. The first design of DVT was designed to match [[British Rail Mark 2|Mark 2]] and [[British Rail Mark 3|Mark 3]] coaches. The second design has a narrower profile, similar to [[British Rail Mark 4|Mark 4]] coaches, which would enable it to be converted to [[tilting train|tilting operation]] if required in the future.{{citation needed|date=February 2024}} The nose of the vehicle was styled to closely resemble the Class 90 and 91 locomotives that they were paired with. The original Mark 3 DVTs, which operated on the [[West Coast Main Line]], used the [[Railway Clearing House|RCH]] jumpers to carry the signals, therefore allowing the same cables to be used for lighting and the [[public address]] system, as well as driver-[[Conductor (transportation)#Train guard|guard]] signalling. The {{brc|86}} and {{brc|87}} locomotives had to be retrofitted with RCH cables, replacing the older multiple working jumpers that some of them had been fitted with.<ref>{{cite web |url = https://www.aclocogroup.co.uk/history86.php |title = Class History - AL6 / 86 |publisher = [[AC Locomotive Group]] |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20180908164704/https://www.aclocogroup.co.uk/history86.php |archive-date = 8 September 2018 }}</ref> The [[InterCity 225]] sets operate on the [[East Coast Main Line]]; the Mark 4 DVTs and locomotives operate in push-pull formation utilising a [[time-division multiplexing|time-division multiplexer]] to send control signals along specially screened cables which run the length of the train. The locomotives usually face north, away from London, only being changed occasionally in rare circumstances; this is because the Class 91 depots (formerly [[Bounds Green TMD|Bounds Green]] and now [[Neville Hill TMD|Neville Hill]]) are situated at the north end of King's Cross and Leeds stations respectively, allowing easy changeover.{{citation needed|date=February 2024}} When a train is operated by a DVT, the control signals are encoded and multiplexed onto the cables by the TDM equipment in the DVT. At the locomotive, these signals are demultiplexed by the TDM equipment and the signals are used to control the locomotive. The [[Railway air brake|air braking]] system is operated directly from whichever cab the driver is driving from. If the TDM fails and cannot be reconfigured, the train may still operate; however, if the DVT is leading, it will be necessary to uncouple the locomotive and attach it to the front of the train.{{citation needed|date=February 2024}} In addition to the driver's cab, some DVTs have luggage and cycle storage space and a guard's office. One DVT was fitted with a traction gel applicator.<ref>{{cite journal |date = November 2013 |title = Leaf it out! |url = http://www.rruka.org.uk |journal = Right Track |issue = 6 |pages = 5–91 |access-date = 10 May 2020 |archive-date = 22 January 2019 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20190122004105/https://www.rruka.org.uk/ |url-status = live }}</ref> A number of Mark 3 DVTs have been fitted with generators to provide power to on-train equipment.

The standard practice was for the DVT to be marshalled at the southern end, adjacent to the first class carriages, to allow easy changeover of locomotives at [[Willesden TMD|Willesden depot]] which is situated at the north end of London Euston station. The first was delivered in March 1989.<ref>{{cite magazine |title = MkIII DVTs emerge |magazine = [[The Railway Magazine]] |issue = 1056 |date = April 1989 |page = 211}}</ref> They also operated between Wolverhampton and [[Shrewsbury railway station|Shrewsbury]], and between [[Crewe railway station|Crewe]] and [[Holyhead railway station|Holyhead]], hauled by [[British Rail Class 47|Class 47]] diesel locomotives.
