A Railwayman's View - BR Midland Region by Peter Collins > Lancashire > LPPC DSL BW 0950
LPPC DSL BW 0950 Mid-morning at Preston and all was quiet until this Gloucester Railway Carriage and Wagon Company single-car Class 128 motor parcels unit ran quietly into a down platform usually used by these sorts of services judging by the Brutes and trolleys piled high with traffic. Originally there were ten of them built, mainly for use on the Western Region and these were fitted with through corridor connections at both ends of the units. The remainder were allocated to the LMR and did not have these additions. They were finished in BR DMU green, but by this time this vehicle is in branded Royal Mail red.
