43. One of the Class 175 DMUs, built by Alstom, that run
frequently alongside the caravan park. Although they pass approx
35 yards from the caravan, with the welded rails (no clickety-clack!)
and no gradient, they make less noise than the passing cars!
GEC, former employer of myself and several others on the mailing
list for these photos, once held a 50% share in Alstom, during which
time they took over the former Metro-Cammell company, based in Washwood
Heath, Birmingham, and it is there that all 27 sets of these DMUs were built,
between 1999 and 2001.
