Class 124 DMU

70mile/h 6-car diesel mechanical railcar

Originally built by BR Swindon Works in 1960

The British Rail Class 124 was a class of initially six-car Diesel Multiple Units used and built specifically for the trans-Pennine route. In the late 1970s, the Class was merged with their Class 123 cousins that had been relocated from Reading services on the Western Region and towards the end of their days, ran as 4-car hybrid sets.
