A DMU comes out from a fume filled Gas works tunnel. These tunnels were filled with fumes from this and all the other trains that had used it be for. All this pollution and fumes hung about long after each train had gone, by which by the time, another train filled them again.
This DMU was going into the tunnels at Kings Cross to make yet more fumes
Kings Cross Suburban station in BR days was a very quite place during the day
These DMUs were not as nice as todays EMU's.
