At East Didsbury Railway Station. 323229, an ex-British Rail class 323 passenger train is en-route to Crewe. Although it says "Crewe" at front the rear unit is reading "Liverpool Lime Street" which is maybe where it started its journey. The British Rail Class 323 electric multiple units (EMUs) were built by Hunslet TPL from 1992-93. Forty-three of these 3-car units were built for inner-suburban services around Birmingham and Manchester. These trains were the last vehicles to be built by the struggling manufacturer Hunslet before it collapsed. These trains were also amongst the last to be constructed in the UK before rail privatisation.
