A four-car Class 123 DMU takes the centre road through Gilberdyke station forming the 14.43 Hull to Sheffield service. These Swindon built Inter-City units predated the Class 124s that were also seen on this route working various trans-Pennine services. They were very similar to the later units but had connecting doors for multiple working. Like the Class 124s, none have survived into preservation largely due to extensive use of asbestos in their construction. However, a number of plans have been made to rebuild a set from existing preserved Mk1 coaches; none of which have yet come to fruition.
