L&Y Railway 3rd rail EMU Manchester-Bury line
The Manchester to Bury line was electrified in 1916. The trains were state of
the art, in fact ahead of their time, using aluminum on steel frames.
Each train consisted of 5 coaches, 2 motor coaches, one at each end, a slightly
different motor coach in the middle, and one third and one first class trailer
coach. All coaches had driving positions at each end, so different formations
could be put together. Extensions to the electrification were never put in
place.
They lasted through to about 1961, when new BR built cl504 units replaced them.
