Now is this the most colourful passenger train in Europe? Mainland Europe maybe the home of locos
with advertising liveries...there are just a one or two dedicated freight examples in Britain...but when it comes to
DMUs and EMUs we must surely be out front. This train is operated by Arriva and consists
of an orange class 153 coupled to a red and green 150 unit. It was pictured at Cardiff Central on February 14th 2004.

Yet a further combination this time one orange and another blue class 153. The blue one is quite interesting
as it was clearly previously operated by First North Western as you can see where the white door covers the
gold star. Seen in Cardiff on the 14th February 2004.

This orange class 153 single coach DMU is attached to the two car multi-coloured 150 in front
making a truly remarkable looking train. We rail enthusiasts might prefer loco hauled
trains but at least having units in these colourful liveries makes them of interest and well worth
Photographing. Pictured at Cardiff Central on 14th February 2004.

Wessex Trains Class 153 DMU 153302 at platform 8 of Bristol Temple Meads station. The single car Class 153 units were built as Class 155 two-car units, when they were redesigned as single car units a cab had to be created in what was the middle of the train, where space was never provided, meaning the trains are not symetrical. This is the former inner end - the cab extends back into the vestibule aera.
