Beschreibung
In this companion volume to Northern Electrics: EMUs in the North of England, Martyn Hilbert showcases the huge variety and types of first- and second-generation Diesel Multiple Units that have operated in the North of England, including many items of rolling stock that have passed into history. Covering the period from the late 1970s to the present day, the photographs featured have been taken in a wide range of locations, including North Staffordshire, Cheshire (including Crewe), Merseyside and the Wirral, Greater Manchester, Lancashire, Cumbria, Newcastle and the Tyne, the Tees area and Yorkshire. The first generation was introduced by British Railways in the mid-1950s as part of the modernisation programme. These were replaced by a second generation of units in the 1980s, many of which are still in service, but are slowly being replaced by new state-of-the-art designs to suit modern-day operations, passenger expectations and environmental considerations. With previously unpublished images, this book will appeal to all those with an interest in Britain's railways over the last five decades.
