Three LMR two-car Derby Lightweight DMUs in Harpenden Central station. There were no details with this negative to explain why they were here (or the date), probably an excursion but they lack the white characters stuck in the cab windows normally found on such trains in this period.

Department Derby)". It is dated August 5 1959 and shows a Derby Lightweight DTC undergoing cab end repairs. This is presumably after collision damage, with the twisted solebar and twist in the front of the bogie, the actual incident unknown. British Railways.

Derby Lightweight "Double-Ender" 79901, thought to be at Buckingham. The photographer notes "it must be returning to Verney Junction and if it is only shuttling over that short length of the Banbury branch the rest must have already had its passenger service withdrawn." Taken in 1960. Adrian Vaughan.

circa late January 1960
Accident damaged E79614 at Cambridge diesel depot. It had struck a lorry on an occupation crossing between Worlington and Isleham on the Mildenhall branch while working the 7.34am ex Mildenhall on 15 January 1960. The photo is undated but will have been taken soon afterwards. The location of the accident is sometimes given as "Freckenham crossing" which I translate as being Smith's occupation crossing No. 61 just west of Worlington Golf Links Halt. The lorry, which was destroyed, had three occupants of which two died at the scene and the third subsequently. This may suggest the DMU struck the front, i.e. cab, end of the lorry. The Mildenhall branch had a blanket speed limit of 30mph so the DMU would not have been travelling any faster. Darren Kitson Collection.
