Collision involving Class 127 / Class 47
Info from Eddie Knorn / Michael Boot
A stationary Class 127 was hit by 47 535 in Luton station, despite the severity of the damage there were no serious casualties. The rear half of DMBS 51620 was destroyed, as was one end of TSL 59605 - which had just been outshopped from Swindon after a C3 overhaul in January and painted into blue and grey for transfer to Tyseley. Both were withdrawn. The other two vehicles in the set were likely to be 59634 (also having a C3 at the same time as 59605) and 51624.
Scrapped by BR, Luton Yard arrived 28/05/83 cut Jun-83
