Brand newish British Rail Class 755 4 car diesel electric Bi-Mode Multiple Unit (BMU) 755417 working the 1K79 13:27 (14:26 RT) 'Greater Anglia' Norwich- Stansted Airport service train at Ely Station in the County of Cambridgeshire (UK).
The Class 755 BMU's were a direct replacement from 2019 for the ancient Class 156 'Sprinter' DMU trains that operated on rural Greater Anglia secondary lines.
The pantograph is down here and the unit is operating on diesel power as no OHLE from Norwich to Ely, however from beyond Ely southbound the unit with raise the pantograph and operate on 25kV.
755417 was built for Greater Anglia by Stadler Rail at their facility in Bussnang Switzerland as one of the Stadler 'FLIRT' (Fast Light Intercity and Regional Train) modular family of trainsets.
The Class 755 bi-mode units should not be confused with the almost identical looking Stadler Rail 'FLIRT' Class 745 Electric (only) Multiple Units which are also operated by Greater Anglia.
Note the Dellner type coupling system in the big ugly hole at the front of the train. The Dellner Coupling is a version of the Scharfenberg coupler which connects pneumatics and electronics at the same point of contact.
Greater Anglia had an option to have a cover fitted in these coupling holes by Stadler but declined for cost and ease of maintenance reasons.

Simca 1300/1500
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Simca 1300 and Simca 1500 were large family cars manufactured by the French automaker Simca in its Poissy factory from 1963 to 1966, and between 1966 and 1975 in revamped versions, as Simca 1301 and Simca 1501."

Simca 1300 / 1500
"Au début des années soixante, l’Aronde a du mal à soutenir la comparaison pour ce qui du confort et de l’habitabilité avec les plus récentes berlines européennes de moyenne gamme.
Sa conception remonte au tout début des années cinquante et il est temps de lui trouver une remplaçante pour le marché européen.
Ce sera chose faite le 22 mai 1963 avec la Simca 1300, une voiture au dessin équilibré et racé qui correspond tout à fait aux orientations esthétiques de la nouvelle décennie : lignes tendues, surface vitrée généreuse, habitabilité en net progrès, elle bénéficie d'un style de carrosserie très italien, auquel on peut cependant reprocher une certaine « timidité » esthétique : la voiture connaîtra une importante refonte esthétique après à peine trois ans de carrière (versions 1301 et 1501).
Si les choix techniques qui président à sa réalisation sont empreints d’un certain conservatisme (propulsion, pont arrière rigide), son style fait mouche. Son « moteur Rush » 1300 hérité de la dernière Aronde P60, est très fiable et relativement nerveux. La « 1300 » est bientôt épaulée par la « 1500 » reconnaissable extérieurement à sa calandre légèrement différente et à ses pare-chocs prolongés latéralement. Le moteur 1500 allie nervosité et couple.
Fin 1966 (pour le millésime 1967), ces deux modèles cèdent le pas aux « 1301 » et « 1501 », des voitures plus longues qui seront déclinées en de nombreuses versions."

"Production de 1963 à 1967 (modèles 1300 et 1500 confondus) : 712.239 exemplaires."
