Trans-Pennine Motor Second Brake E51968 is seen at Leeds on March 20, 1979. Malcolm Clements.
The vehicle is mentioned in the following images:
Date: circa July 1960
An official image (probably NER publicity) showing a brand new Trans-Pennine DMU. E51951 is closest, presumably with 51968 + 59774 + 59765 + 51969 also visible, and the location seems to be Neville Hill depot where they were first allocated. British Railways.
