CLASS 333

Built by Siemens in Germany, these high quality 3 and four car suburban sets with a top speed of 100mph are a derivative of the Heathrow Express sets. This fleet are operated by West Yorkshire PTE, based at Leeds Neville Hill and operated on the electrified network of Arriva Northern radiating from Leeds. When built all 16 units were three car, but growth on the Leeds local network was such that additional capacity was needed and eight additional trailers were added to stock in 2002. The sets are painted in the distinctive WYPTE maroon livery.
