Class 123 DMU at Hereford

1976

Inter-City DMU set L711 (presumably 52091 closest) is seen in Hereford yard in 1976 after a failure. These sets appeared to be on their last legs, so I was surprised when they were sent North to join the Trans-Pennine units. John Crooks.

Class 123 DMU at Hereford

1976

A Class 123 (set L711, presumably 52091) in the yard at Hereford in 1976 after a failure. John Crooks.

Class 123 DMU at Cardiff

12th March 1976

1976 was famous for the amazing Summer but March was a bit grim as seen on the 12th at Cardiff. L711 is arriving (presumably 52091 at the front), in the set was 59823 and completed the set for me! Remember when they kept dmu's together? The loco, by deduction, is probably 47504. It doesn't really matter at this distance in time. It's Cardiff and it's 42 years ago! Arnie Furniss.

Class 123 DMU at Hereford

August 1976

A class 37 is collecting a failed Class 123 unit (thought to be L711 / 52091) from the wall siding at Hereford in August 1976. These units seemed to be on their last legs, and I was surprised when they went to the Eastern Region, rather than the scrapyard...! John Crooks.

Class 123 DMU at Hull

6th August 1977

52091 waits to depart Hull Paragon on 6th August 1977 for Sheffield or Manchester (Via Sheffield) on 6th August 1977, and still had the original gangway covers on. David Scott.
