Single DMBS 50384 is attached to 51301 and 56464 at Kilmacolm on January 8th, 1983. The headboard requires a little bit of explanation - the last two surviving Class 126 sets had somehow managed to escape withdrawal at the time of the line's closure and one of the Swindon Diesel Preservation Society members had contacted BR to enquire if the sets could be rostered for service on the last day. A headboard was knocked up in the hope that something could be arranged. In the event, the Swindons were not rostered and the board seemed somewhat inappropriate, but was mounted for a short time at Kilmacolm for photographs. Andrew McConnell.

Last Day No.23. Cravens 105 373 triple idles at Kilmacolm and is probably waiting to form the 16:01 service for Glasgow Central. An old notebook suggests this was DMBS E50384 (nearest) + DMBS E51301 + DTSL E56464. This may have been the last daylight departure from Kilmacolm. The masonry wall to the left is the corner of the former goods shed. Whilst the station buildings survived closure as a pub, the goods shed succumbed to redevelopment and was flattened to make way for housing. Saturday 08 January 1983. alicia hartman.

Last Day. Last arrival at Kilmacolm with a six car set on the 18:07 ex Glasgow Central. Metro Cammell 101 327 triple is nearest the camera and 107 435 is at the head in the darkness. The destination screen will be turned one last time from Kilmacolm to Glasgow for the 19:01 departure. Looking at the crowd on the platform, just as well it is a six car set.

Last Day. Despite appearances this is 107 435 at the buffer stops at Kilmacolm, having arrived on the 18:07 working from Glasgow Central along with 101 327 at the rear. Derby 107 435 (with Metro Cammell DMS) had been operating the Kilmacolm line for most of the day along with Cravens 105 373. This six car set was the very last timetabled passenger train at the Renfrewshire station. Saturday 08 January 1983. alicia hartman.

Last Rites. A wreath signifying the end of the Kilmacolm line is about to be hung on the lamp iron of Metro Cammell 101 327 at the head of the 19:01 Kilmacolm - Glasgow Central service. The driver will wind the destination screen round one last time. This was the very last service to leave the Renfrewshire town with 107 435 on the rear of a six car set. The official closure date was Monday 10 January 1983 - there was no Sunday service and the Monday would be the first day without rail services. Notice the policeman keeping an eye on proceedings!

Last Rites. The destination screen has been reset and 101 327 and 107 435 are ready for the final 19:01 departure from Kilmacolm. In addition to a wreath, a headboard has been hung on the lamp iron on the secondman’s side. The headboard reads ‘Class 126 Farewell to Kilmacolm’ and was prepared after the then Swindon Preservation Society asked BR to diagram the remaining two Class 126 sets on the Kilmacolm line for the final day. It was not to be, but 126 406 and 126 413 were seen on the main line at Elderslie earlier that day. However, images on Railcar show the two remaining Swindon Inter-City sets did work the branch during the week. All that was needed was a driver and guard to bring 114 years of railway history to an end. Saturday 08 January 1983 alicia hartman.
