Date: 5th August 1976

This is Skegness station on Thursday 5th August 1976. If my notes from the day are accurate then this Class 114 DMU comprised DTCL No. 56032 (nearest the camera) and DMBS No. 50022, built at BR's Derby Works and new in 1957. The presence of the tail light suggests that the train has recently arrived at the seaside terminus. Tom Harper.
