One of the first tasks was the upgrading of passenger services on country branch lines, through the replacement of 23 wooden bodied railmotors built in the 1920s, and the withdrawal of steam locomotive hauled [[mixed train]]s. An initial order of twelve {{convert\|102\|hp\|kW\|-1\|abbr=on}} railcars, six {{convert\|153\|hp\|kW\|-1\|abbr=on}} railcars with trailers, and twelve {{convert\|280\|hp\|kW\|-1\|abbr=on}} railcars was placed with [[Walker Brothers ~~of [[~~(Wigan,)\|Walker ~~England\|Wigan~~Brothers]], [[England]]. It was then extended to include a further ten {{convert\|153\|hp\|kW\|-1\|abbr=on}} railmotors and trailers.
