BRITISH RAIL DMU's IN COLOUR

MORRISON

PUBLISHED; IAN ALLEN

FIRST EDITION 2010

A familiar sight on Britain's railways for more than half a century. the diesel multiple-unit (or DMU) was introduced in volume from the mid-1950s, when the type was seen as a cost-effective means of replacing steam locomotives and outdated rolling stock on non- electrified branch lines and secondary routes. Construction of this first generation of BR DMU stock continued into the early 1960s. but contraction of the railway network meant that these units, comprising more than 1,200 trainsets, were to suffice for more than 2() years. By the early 19805, however, thoughts had turned to their successors, and the latter years of BR saw large numbers of ‘Sprinter’-type units entering service, not only replacing most of the earlier generation but also taking over many main-line services that had hitherto been locomotive-hauled. The boom in DMU construction continued after railway privatisation in the 1990s. which also resulted in an explosion of new liveries as new ' operators sought to stamp their individual identities on the trains they ran -— :1 situation which, with the seemingly endless reorganisation of franchises, continues today. This new book by highly regarded railway photographer Gavin Morrison provides a pictorial record of the DMUs operated by BR and its successors. Lavishly illustrated with more than 2()0 colour photographs, it will appeal not only to railway modellers and historians but also to readers with a more general interest in Britain’s rail network.
