Class 119 DMMU passes through Betchworth non-stop on a Gatwick-Reading service on 8 March 1980. Tony Watson.
These are easily my favourite dmus simply because I worked on them when at Selhurst Depot. Class 119 set L586 (51077 closest, presumably with 59420 + 51105) halts at the timeless station of Betchworth on a Tonbridge to Reading stopping service on 17th June 1980. Ian Buck.
Heading away from Betchworth on 17th June 1980 is class 119 set L574 (presumably 51084 + 59415 + 51056) on 17th June 1980. Ian Buck.
A spot I know well as spent 5 years going across the level crossing here on my way to and from work until 2019. Betchworth on the 22nd of November 1980 and Class 119 dmu set L573 (probably 51055/59417/51083) is I would guess about to run through as it is working the 1O70 13.10 Reading to Gatwick service. At the moment the Reading to Redhill's stop at Betchworth but not the Gatwicks so maybe it was the same 40 years ago. Set L573 seems to have worked out of Reading from at least 1980 to 1987.

Class 119 DMU L576 (presumably 51090 + 59421 + 51062) at Betchworth working from Reading to Redhill in February 1989. That red 1982 Volvo 340 had a good innings, lasting until 2001. Kevin Lane.

A few hours spent watching a variety of DMU types by the North Downs in August 1989. Class 101 Metro Cammell set L835 (W51498 + W59530 + W51432) head west with a Reading bound service, seen near Betchworth. The power cars were Leeds / Bradford based most of their lives until late 1987, while the centre car spent most of its life around Tyneside then quite a few years in Scotland before migrating south.
