context_page_description: The British Rail Class 153 Super Sprinters are single-coach railcars converted from two-coach Class 155 diesel multiple units in the early 1990s. The class was intended for service on rural and branch lines where passenger numbers do not justify longer trains.
context_section_description: Regional Railways operated Class 153s on many branch lines throughout the Midlands, Wales and Northern England. They were initially allocated to Heaton (15), Cardiff Canton (9), Plymouth Laira (10), Crown Point (16) and Tyseley (20). Due to their multiple working ability, Class 153s were often seen with other classes of Sprinter units such as Class 150 and Class 156s. Class 153s were often found working services from;
  Newcastle to Carlisle
  Peterborough to Lincoln
  Nottingham to Birmingham New Street via Leicester
  Crewe to Derby
  Ipswich to Lowestoft and Felixstowe
  Norwich to Great Yarmouth and Sheringham
  The class was a common sight in Regional Railways areas.
