Description:This British Rail 2-car Cravens diesel multiple unit (DMU) is pictured at Burton-upon-Trent station when it worked on the B3 service from Burton to Leicester.

On the left there is a glimpse of the former Ind Coope Ltd. Bottling Stores. Originally built as Ind Coope and Allsopp's Maltings around 1880, the buildings were extensively remodelled in 1947 to become the bottling stores, which closed in 1987. Imex Business Park opened in the buildings in 1991 and closed in 2017. The buildings were demolished in 2018 to make way for a housing development.
