1105, unidentified Portsmouth Harbour-Bristol temple Meads working, Dilton Marsh I had a real fondness for these Southern Region class 205 DEMU units. Here, unit number 1105 eases down the steep bank past Dilton Marsh towards Westbury working a Portsmouth Harbour to Bristol temple Meads working. These units were powered by an English Electric 4SRKT 600hp engine mounted above the frame rather than underneath as is common practice today. Indeed, the leading coach in this picture clearly is the powered one. It also has the inverted black triangle applied. This had nothing to do with the engine but as an indication to postal staff giving them early warning that this was the coach that contained the brake van helping them to unload and load mail more efficiently.
