Prototype Information
The British Rail Class 104 Diesel Multiple Units were designed for general branch line and commuter routes. The first units were ordered for the London Midland region, with most being used in the North West but others were also used in Tyneside, Scotland and London.
The class were re-engineered to remove asbestos insulation in the 1970s and were eventually withdrawn by the end of 1993. Several sets made their way into preservation.
