Class 230

The Class 230 "D train" was a train in service on Barryborrow Network in Apple Rail. In real life, these trains are found in Wales and on the Marston Vale line.

Real-life History
The class 230 uses the body shells of old D Stock trains from the district line of the London Underground. They are seen as a cheap replacement to pacers by builder Vivarail, but have instead been used to replace sprinters in both Bedfordshire and Wales. They operate under diesel or battery power, also making it the first approved BEMU for national rail services.

Apple Rail
The class 230 is the original train for Barryborrow Network and is a different scale to the rest of the modern fleet. The interior is made up entirely of latitudinal seating and has a small luggage area in each carriage. Due to its age and lack of updates the train was not as popular as most of the other fleet. The class 230 was originally scheduled to be removed from service before 2021, however due to delays in the introduction of new stock its removal was delayed until Spring 2021 when it was replaced by the class 153 "Sprinter"
