There had been ten of these 3-Car DMU's, fitted with headcode boxes and Rolls-Royce engines, supplied new to the North Eastern Region in 1959/60. The staff on the track on the right had a hose that was filling one of the DMU cars.

A pair of Swindon built Class 120 'Cross-Country' Driving Motor Brake Composites, M53714 & M53713 in use as a parcels/mail unit, was stabled in Croft Street Sidings at Preston on August 31st 1986. The nearest car, M53714 had once been part of a Derby Etches Park allocated three-car set EP522.

The photo was taken at Miles Platting in the summer of 1987. Here Class 101 Met-Camm built M53222 (original number E50222) is descending the steep incline into Manchester Victoria. I don't know the number of the trailing car but it could be M53337 as zooming in on the high res scan shows M53xx7. It was new to Sunderland (54A) on 13th June 1957 but had many other allocations during its life, When the photo was taken it was allocated to Chester (CH) from where it was withdrawn in 1989. It went into Departmental Stock on the 28th August 1991 where it became part of Lab Coach 19 "Iris 2" and carried set number 901002. It was fortunately acquired by the West Somerset Railway in 2008 and is now preserved at the Plym Valley Railway. John Marsh.
