DP1 was first used in service on the London Midland Region of British Railways in 1955, predominantly operating express London to Liverpool freight trains. Although DP1 did see a brief foray into passenger service, J.F Harrison ultimately rejected the design as he didn’t think high-speed engines suitable for railway applications.
