Direct Rail Services 9710 stands inside Railway Vehicle Engineering Ltd’s Derby facility on June 26, undergoing a rebuild before entering traffic in November.
Bought from DCRail, the Mk 2f Driving Brake Standard Open (DBSO) is destined for use on the Cumbrian Coast Class 37-hauled trains operated by Northern Rail.
It will be painted in Northern livery when it is released, and will follow 9705/707, which have already been refurbished but have yet to enter traffic.
After 9710 is released, two more DRS DBSOs will be released, each eight weeks apart. RICHARD CLINNICK.

The DBSO's Are Funny Looking Things Personally I Think It Is Cruel That The Class 68 My Favourite Locomotive Spoils The View You Get Of The Mark 2 DBSO But I Love The Class 68 Better Than The Class 37/4 But I Love The DRS Compass Livery And Northern Rail Uniform Together I Think Northern And DRS Are Close Friends Long Live The Class 68!!!
