Ok this could be a controversial one, but what do you think was BR’s most successful DMU?
I am going to put myself on the firing range by suggesting the 143s.
After initial problems they settled down to work all types of services.
Hated by passengers and the media , they were reliable and most importantly they way outlived their design life expectancy.
Plus they saved many services and possibly lines at a time when cuts and savings were the name of game.
My second choice would be the class 101s; again reliable, they worked all manner of services and way out lived their life expectancy.
