Withdrawn Derby Lightweight vehicles at Barrow on 1 June 1969. Both vehicles have yellow cab doors and damaged headstocks. DMBS M79012 on the left, with the top marker light hanging off, looks like it may also have damage to the cab corner on the far side. The DTCL on the right has split windscreens, and so is from a later batch than M79012. Stuart Mackay Collection.
