Class 506 EMU M59605M

Even though they were delivered during BR days this class carried numbers with the sufix letter M (probably they were a Midland design). The sufix made the number unique - otherwise the 59xxx series would have clashed with DMUs.

On this shot you can see the body style and the air operated sliding doors.
