An undated "review of activities by one of the World's largest suppliers of diesel train units" British United Traction but issued c.1960 if dates in the text are anything to go by. It shows the development of various railcars and looks at the company's contemporary activities; in 1960 these were good as British Railways were in the midst of introducing a vast number of diesel rail units as part of the "Modernisation Plan" agreed by the British Transport Commission in the late 1950s and that heralded the removal of steam services. British Railways were, in a way, rather late to the multiple unit party having chosen to stick to steam in the immediate years of nationalisation after 1948. The fleets of DMU's delivered after 1955, that came to number over 4,000 vehicles, certainly improved both operating conditions and passenger experience on the lines they were introduced on - both local and in some cases Inter-City services, but often proved to late to stem the losses and they did not preclude the mass closure programmes that reached their peak in the Beeching era.
The variously BUT equipped (and others) units for British Railways actually, in general, performed remarkably well and served the railways extensively until the late 1980s and early 1990s. British United Traction was formed in 1946 as a joint venture between AEC and Leyland Motors to pool their trolleybus production at a time when, viewed against diesel motor bus production, the market looked a little niche. Both companies had some pre-war experience of power units in railcars as seen here with AEC's production of units for the Great Western Railway proving moderately successful. The slow turn of BR to DMUs saw AEC and Leyland agree to develop a Diesel Railcar Unit at BUT in 1953. This oversaw the design, reseach, development and marketing of suitable power units and engines for rail vehicles as noted in this booklet. This oversaw the sales of, at the time of printing, over 4,400 engines for BR units alone as well as some limited overseas sales.
