<b><u>Manchester - Bury EMU M28515 in April 1953.</b></u><br>This rather poor shot is included in order to show the station environment which Colin Smith has written to me to confirm is Bury (Bolton Street).Previous | Next<b><u>Mersey Electric Stock</b></u><br>The location is Birkenhead North.<br>The design dates from 1903, was modified around 1936 and ran until replaced in 1956.<br>Dave Evans informs me that this stock was fitted with Westinghouse control similar to one train of District 'A' stock. The MU control equipement was situated in the boarded area behind the cab. These were the only examples using this type of control in UK.
