I thought some might find interest in a review of the oft-mentioned Stadler Flirt trainset, posted by Dylan Bowes. The only North American agency to purchase these is Dallas-Fort Worth commuter service, but they have been suggested by some as suitable for other intercity short-haul routes. The model shown is the 5-car dual mode. Other British railways use 7-car and 11-car consists, and the trains are popular in other European countries.
