Details

Included for its historical interest rather than quality, this view shows a Midland Pullman set (cars 60092 and 60732 are visible) on a rare visit to Botanic Gardens depot in Hull on 26.4.66. The two Midland Pullman sets had been made redundant from their work of the previous six years on the MML between St Pancras and Manchester Central by the introduction the previous week of the full electric service on the WCML between Euston and M'c'r Piccadilly. They were being trialled as possible replacements for loco-hauled Pullmans on the ECML between Kings Cross and both Hull and Leeds. Nothing came of the trials and, as is known, the two sets went to join their brethren on the Western Region.
