DMU

Date: 12th October 1985

Running into Amersham station on 12th October 1985 is my train bound for London Marylebone, a Marylebone allocated 4 car Derby Suburban class 115 dmu made up of cars M51869, M59663, M59758, M51889. 26 years later I would be back in the same spot photographing London Undergrounds A60 stock, which was being withdrawn from service in 2011.
