| A smattering of first generation DMU's & EMU's from the 1970's / 80's. These oft-maligned machines developed character as their years advanced and we grew to like them more. |
A rather handsome EMU waits at Manchester Piccadilly with a train for Stafford, on Sat. 17 Sept. 1977. The leading car was no, M76229 |
Sat. 16 April 1977 and a Swindon DMU comes into Attenborough,as I wait to return to Derby, having alighted from the Leicester-Nottingham service here. |
Hinckley on Sat. 16 April 1977 and 2-car Craven Unit lead by E56451, coupled to a 3-car Swindon set, arrives with the 16.15h departure for Cambridge, taking me back to Leicester. The Craven had just been retrimmed with blue check moquette and blue formica,losing some of its original appeal |
