Second Generation DMUs in Scotland covers the modern diesel multiple
units introduced by BR from 1981. It features locations from across
Scotland, and also looks at Carlisle. This book covers units from the
experimental Class 140s, introduced in 1981, to contemporary examples
including Class 185s still in use with TransPennine Express. Possibly
the best unit introduced to Scotland are the Class 156 units based at
Corkerhill depot in Glasgow. These units can be found working from
Newcastle to Mallaig. The new generation of DMU fleets can go faster and
travel further and have generated a huge following. Here, Colin J. Howat
combines previously unseen historical black-and-white photography with
modern digital examples to tell their story.
