Around Chiswick Works
DMS 1515 approaching Chiswick Works on 1 March 1979. New in 1973, it would eventually spend longer as a driver trainer than it did in passenger service. And beyond that, withdrawal and scrap would be the likely outcome but something rather bizarre happened....
To promote the benefit of travel cards that could be used on the three main forms of transport within London, DMS 1515 was adapted/converted to become a cleverly constructed amalgamation of a bus, a tube car and a rail carriage on the DMS chassis with all running units functional and thus capable of being driven. I believe it still exists as a stored preservation project.
