'''Elektrichka''' ({{langx|ru|электри́чка}}, {{langx|uk|електри́чка|translit=elektrychka}}) is an informal word for ''elektropoezd'' ({{langx|ru|электропо́езд}}), a [[Soviet Union|Soviet]] or post-Soviet regional (mostly [[suburban]]) [[electrical multiple unit]] passenger [[train]]. Elektrichkas are widespread in Russia, [[Ukraine]] and some other countries of the former Soviet Union. The first ''elektrichka'' ride occurred in August 1929 between Moscow and [[Mytishchi]].

==== Sweden ====
Swedish railroads have been privatized in steps for about 25 years, and today many different companies operate different types of multiple units. A majority of passenger trains today consists of multiple unit trains of which regional traffic exclusively use them.

==== Switzerland ====

The [[Swiss Federal Railways]] use many multiple units, mainly on regional lines ([[S-Bahn]]).

{{Main|British electric multiple units|British railcars and diesel multiple units}}

In the UK the use of modern diesel multiple units was pioneered in [[Northern Ireland]],{{citation needed|date=November 2017}} although a number of other railway companies also experimented with early DMUs (including the Great Western and the London Midland Scottish). Notable examples include the [[British Rail Sprinter|Sprinter]] and [[Bombardier Voyager family|Voyager]] families, and the newer [[British Rail Class 395|Javelin]] trains.

The [[London Underground]] passenger system is operated exclusively by EMUs. Work trains on the Underground employ separate locomotives, some of which are dual battery/live rail powered.

In Northern Ireland the majority of passenger services have been operated by diesel multiple units since the mid-1950s under the tenure of both the [[Ulster Transport Authority]] (1948–1966) and [[Northern Ireland Railways]] (since 1967).
