In a recent rail magazine, maybe from last month I can't remember, there was a review for Colin Marsden's recent book on second generation DMUs.
The reviewer strangely, in the review, pondered over whether units built 1980s and later can be classified as DMUs.
Huh?
How can they not be DMUs? Its not an antiquated term for a type of rail traction; the term is still relevant today surely. They are diesel powered and they can run in multiple. Isn't that enough evidence to confirm that they truly are DMUs?
