==DMU Group vehicles==
The [[The DMU Group (West Midlands) | DMU group]] operates five cars. These can be used as separate three car and two car units, but are usually combined to form a five car unit for purposes such as the summer Scenic Cruises. From time to time maintenance requirements may result in operation as a four car unit.
In autumn 1996 the Group acquired a fifth car, unpowered DTCL 56208, giving an additional 65 seats capacity.
M51935 was extensively damaged by fire in May 2008 in what was believed to be an arson attack. Subsequently it left the SVR to be broken for spares elsewhere. The Group acquired DMBS M50933 as a replacement.
