Burtonian 150
Class 116 DMU at Skegness
Standing at the seaside terminus on the 09:21 Burton - Skegness.
During 1987 many Class 20 loco hauled trains to Skegness from the East Midlands were replaced by Tyseley 8 and 9 car DMU's. Some Class 20 hauled trains were reintroduced but the relative ease of DMU operation meant that this change was somewhat inevitable. Today with a much more regular hourly service from Nottingham and reduced demand, their need is somewhat negated although additionals do still run on summer Saturdays.
Holidaymakers seem more intent in getting to their accommodation in this shot of the 09:21 Burton Skegness. 25/6/87
