A British Railways DMU made up of 'Derby Suburban' units is seen arriving at Bay Platform 4 ready to form the 1 05pm to Kidderminster on 24th October 1966. The DMU was typical of the early Diesel Multiple Units found in the West Midlands during the transitional period between steam and diesel. The DMU is wearing British Railways' initial lined green livery for DMUs but with the 'whiskers' on the front replaced by the bright yellow warning panel whilst above the left hand buffer an oil lamp is used instead of one of the units own electric lights.
