The cab front of the green Class 127 DPU at Longsight depot in early October 1985. Which of the two vehicles is it? 55966 only had one windscreen wiper and two overhead warning flashes, the other power car had two wipers and one flash. There are some differences from its 1983 repaint into green, at that time red triangles were painted onto the jumper sockets, and there was no black edging to the top cream lining. Michael Boot.
