Manufacturer description

The British Rail Class 122 is a type of diesel multiple unit which operated primarily on the London Midland, Scottish and the South-Western Regions of British Rail between 1958 and 1995. Twenty single car driving units or bubble cars and ten trailer vehicles were built by Gloucester RC&W in 1958 and six survive into preservation. In 1980 the Scottish Region Class 122 were converted to carry parcels and reclassified as Class 131, although the cars themselves were not renumbered
