Class 111 DMU at Morecambe

×

Details

Complete with its panelled over headcode box, Metro-Cammell Class 111 Driving Motor Composite Lavatory car M51552 was against the block at Morecambe Promenade, having arrived at the head of a lengthy rake of DMU cars on a Bank Holiday Monday service from Leeds on May 1st 1978. There had been ten of these 3-Car DMU's, fitted with headcode boxes and Rolls-Royce engines, supplied new to the North Eastern Region in 1959/60. The staff on the track on the right had a hose that was filling one of the DMU cars. Visible on the embankment are some of the decapitated steel lattice overhead line gantries for the Lancaster-Morecambe-Heysham electrics that ceased operating in January 1966.
