Ayr to Troon by Diesel, 1961

Starting at Ayr and passing through Newton-on-Ayr and Prestwick stations. The Class 126 Diesel Multiple Units were introduced on the Glasgow-Ayr line in 1959, replacing steam locomotives. Due to much procrastination they remained in service until 1986 when the Ayr line was finally electrified.

i well remember going to ayr on the DMU's, it took forever (or maybe i was just too young!) Anyway the EMU's are much quicker & cleaner. Magic film though!
