It is only now, some 50 years after the first of these units entered service, that a true appreciation of their vital importance is being appreciated. As with other forms of traction, enthusiasts, who initially frowned on the DMUs when they were first introduced, have come to comprehend how vital the development of diesel traction was to the survival of the railway in many parts of the country. This book explores the activities of these units in East Anglia. The photos cover lines in the counties of Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridgeshire as well as Essex, outside the Greater London area.
