Class 47 (D1842) alongside the D78 stock London Underground unit number 7501 at Wirksworth station yard.
As I understand it, after withdrawal from London Underground, 7501 was used as a test bed for the development of battery operated trains.

D7517/25167 eastbound at Llanfairfechan on July 3rd 1981. A picture of contrasts, the modern bus shelter style waiting area contrasts with the solid stone station building, yet the bus shelter contains a bench seat from a different era
