A selection of real DMUs taken during the early 1980s. As expected there is a bias towards the Cambridge area but it appers that when ever I travelled on a Free Pass the chance was taken to get a picture. The units are a totally different beast from the present day offerings.... I know which ones I prefer and they do not have sliding doors!
