High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The British Rail Class 153 Super Sprinter is a single car diesel multiple unit converted from British Rail Class 155s. These units were originally built as two-car Class 155 units by British Leyland from 1987-88, but were converted by Hunslet-Barclay at Kilmarnock from 1991-92. The layout of the original non-cab ends was different from the original cab end, so the ends are noticeably distinct, and the vehicles are not symmetrical. The new cab is significantly smaller than the original Leyland cab and encroaches on the door vestibule area and provides cramped conditions for drivers and guards. Units are numbered in the range 153301-335 and 153351-385. Individual cars are numbered 52301- 335 and 57351-385 (originally 57301-335). British Rail needed replacements for its fleet of Class 121 and 122 diesel railcars for use on branch lines and other lightly used services.
