    The British Rail Class 124 diesel multiple units were built by BR Swindon Works in 1960. The Class 124 was a class of initially six-car diesel multiple units used and built specifically for the Transpennine route. In the late 1970s, the class was merged with their Class 123 cousins that had been relocated from Reading services on the Western Region and, towards the end of their days, ran as 4-car hybrid sets. They were all withdrawn in 1984 when their duties were taken over by Class 31/4 diesel-electric locomotive-hauled rakes of four coaches.
    This class is superbly placed to be a fantastic dlc for the NTP route being built specifically for it and in service around the time period reflected.
