In a world of Gloucester and Swindon-built rolling stock, unusually it is formed of a Metropolitan Cammell three car DMU instead of the usual Cross Country set. The Class 101 DMU (Set P800 - 51445, 59549, 51515) was transferred from Hamilton (Scotland) to Laira on 25th May 1974, and the set is seen here some time in the Autumn/Spring of 1974/5.
