The majority of the Super Sprinter fleet still in service today is formed of 2-car units, though some TOCs, such as GWR, do operate a handful of 3-car units for added capacity. The trains have a maximum speed of 90 miles per hour, and can accelerate at a maximum of 0.8 metres per second squared.
On board is a 2+2 seating arrangement with a mix of airline-style and table seats. There is space for two bicycles on board, too. Dotted throughout the carriages are digital PIS (passenger information system) displays with general journey information.

When the 2 car class 158s finishes with East Midlands Railway 25 of those 158s honestly could hope go to Northern Rail where the other 158889 could be handed back to South Western Railway by perhaps the deadline date is Thursday 31st December 2026 in 4 years time updated Tuesday 4th October 2022.

Lets Go Finally an Upload! Such amazing quality as usual!
-
nice, one of my local trains are super sprinters (but not the class 158 the 159 which is virtually identical apart from the toc and motor)
-
Smashing Seb, some great animation in this one. Big fan of the units as well, nice surprise upload!
-
GWR has fake 3 car 158 units. They were origional 2 cars added with a car from a different 158 unit to form a 3 carriage. The only realistic example of a 3 car built 158 is on Northern which is 158752-158759. Also another example are the ones in Thailand, which used to be with British Railway.
-
East Midlands Railway Class 158 are very much reliable, smooth and comfortable.
