circa June 1979
An official image (13 of 14, negative Y796/3249/12) from a internal BR photo album recording the refurbishment of Class 110 DMUs. This view shows the rear saloon in a TSL, thought to be E59811. Probably taken at its home depot of Bradford Hammerton Street circa mid-1979. While the original tungsten main saloon lighting has been replaced by fluorescents, the small 'bulls eye' tungsten lighting remains on the lowered (to hold a water tank above) ceiling outside the toilet. Compare this view with the 10th image in the album and the placement of the centre lights is different, and the formica in the bulkhead facing us is split in two on this vehicle. British Rail.
