Derby Single Unit RDB975010 IRIS Inverness 14 September 1982. Test coach IRIS in a bay platform at Inverness. Despite my extensive travels throughout the UK in the 1970s this was the first time I had seen this unit and I was very surprised to cop it this far north. I have since travelled in it at the Ecclesbourne Valley Railway in it's restored guise as M79900. Alistair Ness.

With a red flag 'planted' between the rails as protection, the Derby Lightweight RTC Ultrasonic Test Train formed of cars DB975008 & DB975007 was stabled in the sidings at Dock Street, Preston on May 7th 1983. The unique vintage DMU was replaced by a heavily modified Metro-Cammell DMU (901001) in 1986, and subsequently the last surviving original Derby Lightweight two-car set fortunately passed into preservation.
