DP2 after colliding with some derailed wagons of the Cliffe-Uddingston cement train just south of Thirsk on July 31 1967..seven of the 14 coaches of this Kings Cross-Edinburgh train were derailed with 3 being cut open lengthways ..7 persons lost their lives but the driver and secondman were uninjured.Unsurprisingly DP2 never ran again.
