My “summer holiday” in 1978 was a First Class Eastern Region Railrover and I had stocked up with 35mm transparency film for the week ahead. Or so I thought because when it came to processing the week’s photography I realised that one roll of film was in fact a colour print film!!! From that roll of colour print film we have departing platform 2 at Hartlepool a Class 101 two car diesel multiple unit with Driving Trailer Composite Lavatory (DTCL) E56056 leading, 31st May 1978.
Unit History
E56056 entered service in May 1957 and formed part of an order for power/trailer, two car sets, being originally paired with Driving Motor Brake Second (DMBS) E50204. It spent most of its career in the North East before migrating to Leeds in the late 1980’s and ended its days allocated to Longsight. It survived in service until November 2001 and was broken up in July 2006.
