Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The British Rail Class 141 was the first production model of the Pacer diesel multiple units. Twenty units were built by Leyland, constructed mainly from Leyland National bus parts, in 1984. The units were notoriously unreliable, but reliability improved when the units were modified by Hunslet-Barclay between 1988 and 1989. The driving axles (one per coach at the inner end) were fitted directly to the chassis rather than being mounted on bogies, leading to a rather rough ride especially over pointwork, and because of this the units were generally less popular with passengers. The trains were based mainly in and across West Yorkshire on routes radiating from Leeds, where they worked up until 1997 when they were replaced by Class 142s. They were sponsored by West Yorkshire Passenger Transport Executive, and were initially painted in the PTE''s Verona greenand buttermilk livery with "MetroTrain" branding, later receiving the red and cream "METRO- TRAIN" livery.
