With a parched field in the background, one of the WSR's resident class 103 Park Royal DMUs sits in the baking sun at Minehead. This one is painted in the WSR livery of the time and was in-service. The railway had opened to passengers earlier in 1976 with the 103s providing the backbone of their workings. Unfortunately, despite extensive research, I cannot find out the number of this car. Set P200 was a two-car unit that the WSR bought from BR when it was retired from use on the Kingswear branch following closure in 1972.
