abstract
  • A total of 182 units were built. The majority were built as two-car sets. 17 units were built as three-car units; eight of these units have since had the centre car removed, while another eight have been upgraded to be Class 159s. The final ten units were built specifically for West Yorkshire PTE Metro services around Leeds. There were three varieties of unit when built. The standard batch, two- and three-car units (158701—158814 and 158901—158910) had Cummins engines. The next batch (158815—158862) were built as non-standard to enable Perkins engines to be fitted. The final batch (158863—158872) were given higher-powered Cummins engines of , as it was originally intended that these units would work the steeply graded Welsh Marches Line. Another 22 of these higher-powered units were built, and became three-car Class 159 trains. Over time, the units have become mixed up as franchises changed, and higher- and lower-powered units can be seen working on the same routes. All units use P4-4A and T4-4A bogies.
