I didn't see or photograph many class 127 Diesel Parcel Units but do have this shot of set 914, formed of 55974 + 55984 shortly after it had passed through Manchester Victoria on 27 February 1986. Irritatingly, this one one of a small handful of slides that weren't taken in sun during the whole period I was here, on the platform of the former Exchange Station. A class 120 unit is about to enter the terminus platforms at Victoria and the end of a journey from Blackpool. Peter Tandy.
