Nope! I don't want to turn another thread into a what are HSTs thread but they are not DMUs. DMUs have underfloor engines and are part of 1 train. HST power cars can operate under their own power and have an engine at the front of the train.
Probably my fault in all fairness. But back to my original point; I'd never been to huntingdon before so it was a gamble! The bloke monitoring the barriers looked tough but I said who I was, that I was a rail enthusiast and please would it be possible to access the platforms to photograph some trains for about an hour. I think he was slightly dumbstruck by the request but kindly let me through no further questions asks and no other interruptions! By the time I left the barriers were left open and unmanned.
My secret weapon was that I'd have bought a ticket for Peterborough if all else failed!
