Few
DMUs did not carry destination blinds.
There have been
countless variations in these over the years, due to changing
services, and in particular due to lines and stations closing.
Blinds have become
collectable, and in this section I hope to add in as many variations
as I can. This will depend on people submitting details of the blinds
that they have! Please send details to stuart@railcar.co.uk.
