Class 120 DMU at North Camp

circa 1973

Mystery pic! Circa 1973. I have no memory of taking this, or where it is, and the young lady posing at the front is nothing to do with me... All I can say is that it features a Class 120 set C501, wearing a 6000 Locomotive Association headboard, and was obviously taken in failing light... I travelled on 6000 LA DMU tours to Diss (for Bressingham) and Folkestone (for the RHDR), but don't recall any others. Thanks to Kenneth Leiper the station has now been identified as North Camp on the Reading to Guildford line, looking south. John Crooks.
