Single-car Class 153 153370 Super Sprinter DEMU, based on a Leyland bus chassis, in GWR green livery, enters Truro railway station, Cornwall, operating a late afternoon commuter service in mid-June 2017.

***********************************************************

The sprinter Class 153 diesel multiple units were built by Leyland Bus between 1987 and 1988 as two-coach units before being converted to single-car units in 1991/92 by Hunslet-Barclay.

Class 153370 was allocated to Exeter St. Davids.
Class 153370 unit coach numbers as follows: 57370.

A 'grab-shot' that very nearly didn't happen as I was totally unaware this diesel multiple unit (strange name for a single-car train) was approaching!
