When we arrived at Lagos station all we could see were class 600 DMUs, when suddenley a class 14 came in. This example 1427 is an English Electric design and is closely related to the British class 20. We were naturally hoping for 'a bash' behind one of these. Hopes were therefore raised... only to be quickly dashed when I asked the driver if it was forming the '1507 to Faro' and he pointed to the unit. Ah well at least it enabled us to take some photos before we set off. The date incidently was Sunday 14th September 2003.
