Class 158

British Rail Class 158 Express Sprinter is a diesel multiple unit, built for British Rail between 1989 and 1992 by BREL. They are based on the MK3 body shell, not the MK4 shell which they do resemble.

A total of 182 train-sets were built at BREL's Derby Works, to allow older sprinter variants to replace older first generation units as well as a great deal of locomotive hauled passenger trains.
