EMU and DEMU

[Madbus]

Hi guys, I am wondering if any of you know what EMU or DEMU is. I have seen it used in train traffic signage along the tracks of the Seaford line down near mile end. Please let me know if you know what these 2 words mean.

[Eagle Eye]

EMU = Electric Multiple Unit (e.g. 4000-class railcars)
DEMU = Diesel-Electric Multiple Unit (e.g. 3000/3100-class railcars)

Both terms refer to railcars which can be coupled together to form a single train consist.

Thanks.

And DMU is plain Diesel Multiple Unit
