I agree that having a view out the front of the train was a treat that passengers had not enjoyed before nor are likely to enjoy in the foreseeable future. Like other contributors to this thread I made many journeys on DMUs from the end of the 1960s right up to about 2000. My memories aren't entirely positive though because I found them quite uncomfortable for two reasons: the underfloor engine caused a great deal of vibration and it seemed quite common to get an awful stench of diesel fumes in the carriage.
