DMU

Date: circa September 1958

A four-car BRC&W DMU, date/location unknown. With Thirsk on the destination blind DMCL E50553 is closest, looking brand new - it was first allocated to Hull in September 1958 and this seems to be at Hull Dairycoates. Its partners are presumably 59220 + 59199 + 50574. Stuart Mackay Collection.

Date: March 1976

Birmingham RC&W Co.3-car Local Passenger dmu (Class 104) Nos.E50577 (Class 104/1), E59220 (166), E50555 (104/1) of the 1958 batch in BR Rail Blue livery with all yellow front end at Romford on an Upminster service, 03/76. Note the wooden platform. Hugh Llewelyn.
