The big question is - what would an OHL coach be doing on Teesside in the 60s??

Good point - this was obviously a later role! Label now changed!

Wasn't there some third rail around Teeside in the early 60's, perhaps it's electrification of a different kind than OHLE, such as Third Rail?

Shildon-Newport (Stockton) was wired at 1500V DC back in 1914 but a decline in local coal traffic meant the wires came down in 1935. Nothing else electric on Teesside, though Tyneside had third rail until the mid-1960s.

Wasn't the Dock branch in Newcastle overhead electric? till 50 - 60s

It was the Tyneside 3rd rail I was thinking of. Cheers

Just a thought, but i believe the overhead electified branch from Manors(Newcastle) to the Quayside would have been dewired in 1967 when all electric services on Tyneside were discontinued. The branch was mostly in a tight semi-circular tunnel so a small/short O.H.L coach would only fit in the tunnel. This sighting could be either on its way to Newcastle or going elsewhere.

The picture at Cargo Fleet is not of DM395645 but of something else. DM395645 was converted from a bogied coach and the vehicle pictured was converted from a 6-whl LNWR CCT.
