Description
Second Generation DMUs in Scotland explores the modern diesel multiple units introduced by BR from 1981. The book features locations across Scotland and also examines Carlisle, showcasing units from experimental Class 140s to contemporary examples like Class 185s still in use with TransPennine Express.
Colin J. Howat combines previously unseen historical black-and-white photography with modern digital examples to tell the story of these new generation DMU fleets. These units have generated a huge following, thanks to their ability to go faster and travel further.
The book highlights the Class 156 units based at Corkerhill depot in Glasgow, which can be found working from Newcastle to Mallaig. With its unique blend of historical and modern images, Second Generation DMUs in Scotland offers a fascinating look at this often-overlooked aspect of British rail history.
