More information:

The British Rail Class 144 "Pacer" diesel multiple units (DMUs) were built by BREL Derby from 1986 to 1987. A total of 23 units were built. The class were built specifically for local services sponsored by West Yorkshire PTE (since rebranded as Metro). As such, the fleet was painted in the crimson/cream West Yorkshire Metro livery, although three units (nos. 144011-013) were later repainted into Regional Railways livery. Units are used on services such as: Harrogate Line - York-Harrogate-Leeds The Wakefield part of the Huddersfield Line - Leeds-Huddersfield The Huddersfield branch of the Calder Vale line Hallam Line - Leeds-Barnsley-Sheffield Penistone Line - Huddersfield-Barnsley-Sheffield Pontefract Line - Wakefield-Pontefract York & Selby Lines - Leeds/York-Selby/Hull
