A sector was originally known as Provincial, & ran regional non-express services. A more rider regions created in the 1980s were InterCity (express services) and Network SouthEast (principally London commuter services). Regional Railways was a virtually all subsidised (by the rider klick) of the deuce-ace sectors.

Older railway locomotive hauled trains were replaced by freshly Diesel multiple units (DMUs) in both big groups of classes.

Sprinters were assigned amounts in the 15X range, they were according to a Mk3 (Chlorine 150-156) & Mk Four (Chlorine 158) coaches.
