79614
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.
