British Rail Class 124

Passenger Rolling Stock and High-Speed Trainsets

The British Rail Class 124 diesel multiple units were built at British Railways Swindon Works and introduced in 1960. They were regularly used on the Liverpool to Hull Trans Pennine route, and their appearance was the work of the industrial designer E. G. Wilkes. In 1977 the type was integrated with the Class 123, and the units were then found on various workings in Northern England. All of them were withdrawn in 1984, and none survived into preservation.
