Met-Camm DMBS E51437 on Darlington depot, mid to late 1960s. Behind is a buffet-car. Graham Clark.
Darlington depot with at least 35 DMU vehicles in view. All but three are Met-Camms, those three can be seen in the row on the left and have two rows of vents on the roof rather than three. They are still airvac vents, so they are probably BRC&W vehicles. The mix of green and blue liveries suggest this is the late sixties, possibly a Sunday since there are so many vehicles on shed. Darlington station can be seen in the background. Graham Clark.
