circa 1976
A seven-car DMU formation arrives into Inverness, date unknown. The first Class 120, set 305 with the DMBF thought to be SC51785, has a 122 standing in for the rear power car. Attached to the rear of the second Class 120 is another Class 122. Thought to be taken circa 1976, Inverness depot had two passenger 122s at that time, 55005 and 55011. The closest 122 has one BR logo on the side, making it 55011, the rear one has two logos making it 55005. Image by http://www.the-transport-photo-interchange.co.uk. Stuart Mackay Collection.
