       Originally built as two car mix use DMU to be used across whole
       network. Would be formed of up to six cars.
       This arrangement didn't suit intercity services. They were
       therefore reformed into three car units for intercity units with
       some two car units kept for regional services. Two probably sent
       to cowl line at this time.
       The three car units got a full refurbishment and the two cars
       only a refresh with new upholstery. The cowl units untouched.
       Original livery probably simple white with green blue stripes.
       When reformed the intercity units get new white livery and the
       two car regional livery. Maybe also get own name, not sure.

       Would be used on off-peak Intercity services.
       I'm thinking that:
       1 tph runs from H'ford to Y'rock via mkt. Weevil
       1tph runs to St. Thomas Quay via mkt. Weevil
       giving 2 tph, or one every half hour on the mkt. Weevil loop
       And 1tph on the mainline
       giving 2 tph, or one every half hour to Yellowrock.
       Therfore primary trains would be
       H'ford-Y'rock- Westmillennium, sometimes a six car Westhorizom
       H'ford- STQ- Westhorizon, somtimes a 3 car Westmillenium
       H'ford-Y'rock direct- Westspeed
       Another variations is a Westmillenium splitting at STQ with the
       3 car portion continuing on to Y'rock and the two car portion
       going back to H'ford.
       However without trying to create a working timetable not
       practical to work out the exact runnings

       Two car horizons also used to strengthen intercity services,
       resulting in mismatch liveries
