DMU

Date: 10th May 1969

The negative sleeve recorded this as 56310 + 51110 on the 2.35pm Waverley to North Berwick service departing Prestopans on 10 May 1969. However 56310 had been transferred from Scotland to South Gosforth a couple of years earlier so that part is likely wrong. 51110 was a Leith Central vehicle.
