Morning all

I have added a few photos of the class 123/124 Trans-Pennine dmu’s

The class 124’s ran over Standedge and used to be 6 car sets with buffet car here

The units soldiered on a while being reduced to just 4 cars

The 123 units had a corridor front end which made them look completely different from the 124’s

Lovely photos. Thank you.
The "Trans-Pennine" sets were really very smart indeed. I remember them being introduced in Huddersfield in the early 1960s.
