This is one of a pair of similar vehicles which serve the very short Stourbridge Junction to Stourbridge Town branch line. They have now been in successful operation for over ten years and being more lightweight than conventional rail vehicles and also using flywheel technology are cheaper to operate. It was thought similar vehicles would be operated elsewhere in the UK but so far this hasn't happened. The West Midlands rail franchise changed hands in late 2017 and this service is now branded West Midlands Railway Stourbridge Shuttle on the vehicle. Recently it has been repainted into this livery.
