Photo Class 153366 Super Sprinter DMU Train Bletchley Sidings 2015
Class 153366 Sprinter Unit, Bletchley  |
Photo: Charles Moorhen
London Midland Trains one-car Class 153 366 diesel multiple unit photographed on the carriage sidings at Bletchley in 2015.
Class 153366 commuter train unit was built between 1987 and 1988 and allocated to Tysley TMD (Birmingham).
It was hit and miss as to whether I would be able to get this shot at all. The sun had almost set when I spotted the dmu as I drove past the sidings. Added to that I needed to weave between trees while stumbling through a mass of undergrowth strewn with brambles.
Although not my best railway photo by a long chalk, I did at least manage a half decent record of Class 153 153366 which I hadn't seen before. 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.

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!
