British Rail Class 120

Passenger Rolling Stock and High-Speed Trainsets

The British Rail Class 120 was a three-car cross-country DMU built at the British Rail Swindon Works. Its units were based at Laira and from their introduction operated several services in Cornwall, among them the Truro and Newquay Railway route via Perranporth. The class also appears in the record of a serious accident on 12 May 1978, when the unit made up of cars 51793, 59684 and 51794 struck a lorry at Oyne and its front two cars were derailed while it was working the 07:43 Aberdeen to Inverness service. Of the 54 passengers on board, five suffered minor injuries.
