NIR DEMU set.454 at Belfast York Road, Northern Ireland. 27/05/90.
Stabled in the station on a Sunday morning is class 450 or "Castle Class" DEMU set no. 454 comprising vehicles 454+794+784. The Castle class designation stems from the fact all nine sets were named after castles in the province, 454 being Carrickfergus Castle., These sets were built in 1985-87 at BREL Derby Works in England using equipment salvaged from older NIR class 70 DEMU sets and built on redundant BR Mk1 carriage underframes although the bodywork is pure second generation 1980's BR DMU stock with obvious similarities to the BR class 150/2 DMU's.
