Description
Britain's DMUs: 1966-1985 by George Woods The introduction of diesel trains in Britain predated the modernisation plan of 1955, with the BR Derby Lightweight design being the first to enter service in 1954. The Metro-Cammell trains followed in 1955, and their success led to a wider rollout across the British Railways system. These new trains brought cleaner and faster travel, increasing traffic levels on various routes. The book features a collection of previously unpublished photographs taken by George Woods, showcasing the DMUs in service from Perth to Cornwall and Workington to Hull between 1966 and 1985. This visual record provides a unique insight into the history of diesel multiple units in Britain during this period. By examining these trains in their operational context, readers can gain a deeper understanding of the development and impact of diesel multiple units on British rail transport.
