Class 114 DMU at Selby

30th June 1987

With passage of time and my notes not specific I only know for sure I traveled on this Unit from Selby to York (although my notes say it was a Doncaster to York service - as this looks like a bay platform could the train have reversed at Selby?) Always happy to be corrected... Confirmed as Selby! Alistair Fyffe.
