I think the term "Sprinter" came from Holland - they were apparently the first to use it. Over here it refers to a second generation diesel railcar (these were built from the '80s onwards to replace the old first generation or Heritage DMUs, many of which have found new homes with preservation groups. The 1st generation units are the type shown on the www.railcar.co.uk website). In my experience of sprinters the ride quality and seating is far worse than the units they replaced...(rode a Class 153 recently - they don't seem designed for tall people as I felt rather like a deckchair by the end!)
