The BR Class 150 Sprinter pioneered the second-generation DMU revolution that transformed British regional railways from 1984. Built by BREL York, 137 units introduced Mark 3 coach technology, Cummins diesel engines, and modern passenger amenities to replace aging heritage DMUs. Featuring unique 1/3 and 2/3 door positioning and 75mph capability, they served extensively across Great Britain on suburban and branch line services. Still operated by Great Western Railway, Northern, West Midlands Trains, and Transport for Wales after four decades, with unit 150231 achieving preservation status at Mid Hants Railway in 2025.
