A Class 141 crosses Knaresborough Viaduct with the 12.03 to Leeds, on 15 August 1992. The
Class 141s were intended to be a low-cost replacement for the diesel multiple unit trains built in the
late 50s and early 60s, and were based on a bus body mounted on a 4-wheel chassis. They have now all
been withdrawn, and were outlived by a few of the trains they were meant to replace. Later developments
of the bus body concept (Classes 142, 143 and 144) have been slightly more successful. |
