107 DMU

15th November 1980

Six car Class 107 DMU speeds past Elderslie No.1 Signal Box on 14:00 Glasgow Central - Ayr service from Paisley Gilmour Street. The rear Set has one all blue DMBS car. The Gilmour Street lines are straight behind whilst the Paisley Canal lines veer off to the right, behind the DMUs and Signal Box. Rumoured to be the last surviving GSWR signal, a lower quadrant shunt signal was still extant at Elderslie (see cracking David Christie picture on Railcar). Whilst the rail infrastructure has changed out of all recognition post electrification, a view here is no longer possible - the road overbridge has gone, as have the Millarston high flats in the distance on the left! Saturday 15 November 1980. alicia hartman.


107 DMU

15th November 1980

Derby Class 107 DMU crosses the mainlines at Elderslie No.1 Signal Box onto the Paisley Canal lines with 14:03 Kilmacolm - Glasgow Central working. There was one Kilmacolm train a day via Gilmour Street in the last public timetable, an early morning service that stopped at Hillington West, Gilmour Street thence Houston and Crosslee as normal. There was no return working in the public timetable. Kilmacolm line services from Cart Junction and Elderslie No.2 came in on the line second from left. Kilmacolm bound trains were routed onto the line leading off to the right towards Elderslie No.2 Signal Box. Elderslie station closed in 1966 and the two island platforms were in the large gaps either side of the mainlines in the foreground. Saturday 15 November 1980. alicia hartman.


107 DMU

December 1980

Largs station in December 1980 and a six car 107 set departs for Glasgow on a typically dreich afternoon. At that stage, Largs still had three platform faces - Platform 1 nearest with the Derby Heavyweight departing from Platform 2. Platform 3 is behind the DMU. Note the 'running in board' in the middle of the platform and the signal box beyond the road bridge. Despite the three platforms the station throat was rationalised some years previously. The signal box burned down in the mid eighties, before electrification and further track rationslisation. Today, Largs has two platform faces (what were Platforms 2 and 3) at the end of what is effectively a single track electric branch from Ardrossan South Beach. alicia hartman.

Class 107 Crookston Dec 1980. Living in Paisley at the time I took a day out one Saturday to film the Ayr (formerly Hamilton based) Derbys' as we called them on the Paisley Canal line and Kilmacolm branch. Why I did this in December and not when the weather was better I'll never know! Leaving everything to the last minute I suppose. Alistair Ness.

Class 107 Houston Dec 1980. This is one of my favourite pictures. Living in Paisley at the time I took a day out one Saturday to film the Ayr (formerly Hamilton based) Derby's as we called them on the Paisley Canal line and Kilmacolm branch. Why I did this in December and not when the weather was better I'll never know! Leaving everything to the last minute I suppose. Alistair Ness.

Class 107 Johnstone Dec 1980. Living in Paisley at the time I took a day out one Saturday to film the Ayr (formerly Hamilton based) Derby's as we called them on the Paisley Canal line and Kilmacolm branch. Why I did this in December and not when the weather was better I'll never know! This shot is actually on the main line to Ayr and not the branches referred to but was taken on the same day as the others. Alistair Ness.

Class 107 & 116 near Linwood Dec 1980.

Why I did this in December and not when the weather was better I'll never know! This shot is actually on the main line between Gilmour Street and Johnstone and the train comprising two different three car sets may well be a Boat Train from Ardrossan Harbour to Glasgow Central.

A Class 107 DMU stands at Glasgow Central to form a working to Barrhead. A class 303 or 311 EMU can be seen beyond the DMU. 1981. Ian Docwra.


107 DMU

31st January 1981

Derby Class 107 DMU arriving at Bridge of Weir with a Kilmacolm service returning to Glasgow Central. The leading DMS here is numbered as Set 142 but the rear DMBS seemed to show Set 139 - see previous picture of probably the same Unit heading to Kilmacolm. Note the abandoned Greenock bound platform in the foreground. The skew bridge over the station is the parallel A761 to Kilmacolm that replacement bus services would follow upon closure of the railway. Saturday 31 January 1981. alicia hartman.


107 DMU

31st January 1981

Derby DMU and what might be Set 139 or 142 (see later picture) departs Bridge of Weir station for Kilmacolm with a service from Glasgow Central. The line was originally due for closure that day but was reprieved at the eleventh hour. This might explain the distinct ‘lack of interest’ in the departing train! However, the line soldiered on for a few more years and the end ultimately came in January 1983 with a final squeeze on PTE rail subsidies. Saturday 31 January 1981. alicia hartman.


107 DMU

31st January 1981

Westbound 107 DMU is dwarfed by the Renfrewshire countryside as it skuttles towards the last stop at Kilmacolm. Probably between Fodston and Scart Farms in what some maps show as Strathgryfe. Saturday 31 January 1981. alicia hartman.


107 DMU

31st January 1981

Taken quickly with limited further opportunities due to the impending closure of the railway! Eastbound 107 DMU catches some winter sun as it crosses the River Gryfe, half a mile west of Bridge of Weir station. It is returning to Glasgow Central on a working from Kilmacolm. Saturday 31 January 1981. alicia hartman.


107 DMU

9th May 1981

Class 107 DMU departs Glasgow Central High Level on the 14:50 to Edinburgh Waverley via Shotts. Platforms 1 and 2 are immediately behind the DMU. If you wanted to get to Edinburgh in a hurry this wasn’t the way to go with about 13 intermediate stops over the 46 miles to Edinburgh! Saturday 09 May 1981. alicia hartman.


107 DMU

12th May 1981

Derby Class 107 triple heads south and crosses Haggs Road on a skew bridge, forming the 12.14 Glasgow Central to East Kilbride service. The DMU has passed under the west side of the electrified Cathcart Circle and the next stop will be Pollokshaws West. The wooded area in the distance is part of Pollok Park. Ravenshall Road in the foreground leads up to Shawlands station on Cathcart Circle. Tuesday 12 May 1981. alicia hartman.


107 DMU

30th May 1981

The Way it Was. Six car Derby Class 107 DMU racing towards Hillington East and Glasgow Central on an afternoon working from the Ayrshire coast. The vast majority of Ayrshire DMU services were non stop from Paisley Gilmour Street to Glasgow Central (omitting the intermediate stations at Hillington and Cardonald) and were usually flat out at this stage. A few DMU services stopped at Hillington West, probably for workers in the adjacent Hillington Industrial Estate, seen in the background. Saturday 30 May 1981. alicia hartman.
