Description
Thirty years have passed since 'Pacers' and 'Sprinters' became synonymous with Diesel Multiple Units on UK railways. The Class 142 Pacers, introduced in the mid-1980s, remain in service despite criticism about their comfort.
This book explores the history of Second Generation DMUs, which have become the mainstay of secondary passenger services on non-electrified lines across the network. From examples of ScotRail's Class 158 and 170s to Great Western Railway's Class 150 and 153s, each class is featured in detail.
These units have played a crucial role in keeping non-electrified lines open into the twenty-first century, and this book provides a comprehensive look at their operation and significance.
