In 1933, the Great Western Railway introduced this Diesel railcar. Here
it is seen at Bradford on Avon. This a most unusual coupling of two vehicles
normally they were coupled back to back, so the driving cabs were facing
outwards. These two were coupled tail to nose.
These sets sometimes had a coach sandwiched between them and were used
between Bristol Temple Meads to Weymouth and return. this was the afternoon
return service from Weymouth.
