Another Cross Country service. 43321 heads the 1V58 09:00 Glasgow Central - Penzance into Leeds station. Already running nearly 30 minutes late, it got as far as Plymouth before expiring. 43384 was the trailing power car.

Great pic for showing a twin-dining cl.253 set on the WR - not sure how many there were and photos arent that common anyway

IIRC the TRUKs went to new ECML sets once enough TRUBs were available for the WR, although some sets retained the TRSB on its own.

TRUKs 40501-10/12/15-17/19/20 delivered to WR and all saw service before transfer to the ER in the latter half of 1977 and through to September 1978.  40511/13/14/18 were delivered new to the ER in the spring of 1977.
