TRACTION
dmu class 101
First introduced in 1956, the last of the Class 101 multiple units was not withdrawn until 2003, 47 years after its introduction. Found almost everywhere, the use of the class was notably concentrated on services in the east of Scotland, West Midlands, North East and West Yorkshire.
The Class 101 will carry a on-train bar serving hand-pulled real ale, hot drinks and snacks.
144011 br class 144
The Class 144 Diesel Multiple Unit was built in 1986 to operate local services in West Yorkshire. It was a joint venture between British Rail (who built the underframes in Derby) and Walter Alexander & Co (who built the bodies in Falkirk). Final assembly and fitting out were done in Derby by British Rail. The unit was based at Neville Hill depot in Leeds for its whole working life before being finally withdrawn in 2020, after 34 years of service.
