20th October 1978
In the vanished World of the Midland main line before electrification, sunlight was reflecting on a Derby Class 127 four-car 'Red Triangle' DMU with Driving Motor Brake Second M51636 leading, whilst arriving at Cricklewood with Bedford to London St Pancras service on October 20th 1978. With Rolls-Royce engines and Hydraulic transmission fitted to the outer driving cars, there were 30 x 4-Car sets built at Derby in 1959. They spent all their lives working the intensive suburban services to and from Bedford, and by the time the last four-car set was withdrawn prior to electrification in 1983, the fleet was 'well worn'. Martyn Hilbert.
