Class 150 Number 150003 Commuter Run: 3-Car Northern Train Completing its Bradford Commuter Service

British Rail Class 150 "Sprinter" 3-car diesel-hydraulic multiple unit (DMU) number 150003 was originally constructed by British Rail Engineering Limited (BREL) at York Carriage Works between 1985 and 1986. Originally built as a standard 2-car Class 150/1 set, this particular unit was later uniquely lengthened by Northern Trains into a high-capacity 3-car formation by inserting an intermediate center car salvaged from a disbanded Class 150/2 set. Weighing approximately 110 tonnes, this rugged regional asset is powered by three underfloor-mounted Cummins NT855-R5 6-cylinder turbocharged diesel engines, generating 286 horsepower per car for a combined total of 858 brake horsepower driven through Voith hydraulic transmissions. Designed with a durable steel bodyshell based on the successful Mark 3 carriage outline and geared for a maximum operational service speed of 75 mph, this unit features double-leaf pocket sliding doors and is beautifully turned out in the active corporate Northern Trains white, blue, and orange livery.

The unit is seen here in 8K 16:9 widescreen arriving at a bustling Leeds Station during the height of the Monday evening rush hour. Gliding smoothly over the complex western approach tracks, the 3-car commuter service safely guides its passengers into the platforms at the end of its regional journey, having operated a Bradford to Leeds service. This clean and smooth arrival sequence showcases the enduring reliability of the classic Sprinter fleet as it handles heavily patronized commuter routes across West Yorkshire. This evening arrival sequence was captured on Monday 29/06/2026 at 17:29.
