Unknown date
No details with this image. It shows M60092 appearing to be new. The wagon (crane?) on the right is marked 'Derby Loco' so this is probably Derby. Malcolm Clements.
15th May 1962
The Midland Pullman has just arrived at London St Pancras with the 0745 from Manchester Central, the booked arrival time was 1100 and as the clock is showing 1054 it has obviously arrived early. The leading car M60092 is having it's windscreen cleaned before the trip to Nottingham at 1120 and back. 15 May 1962. Keith Long.
26th April 1966
Included for its historical interest rather than quality, this view shows a Midland Pullman set (cars 60092 and 60732 are visible) on a rare visit to Botanic Gardens depot in Hull on 26.4.66. The two Midland Pullman sets had been made redundant from their work of the previous six years on the MML between St Pancras and Manchester Central by the introduction the previous week of the full electric service on the WCML between Euston and M'c'r Piccadilly. They were being trialled as possible replacements for loco-hauled Pullmans on the ECML between Kings Cross and both Hull and Leeds. Nothing came of the trials and, as is known, the two sets went to join their brethren on the Western Region. Leonard Rogers.
