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.
1976

1976
The "Inter-city" DMUs had a short tenure on the Cardiff - Crewe line. By the time they were re-allocated to Cardiff they were on their last legs, and loco-hauled substitutions became common - one such set of coaches being formed from the centre cars from these sets. Here, one is dumped in Hereford yard, presumably after a failure. It looks like the Stirling - Newton Abbot Motorail is passing...! John Crooks.

Class 123 DMU set L713 in Paddington with an Oxford service - with a lot of parcels being loaded into the guards' compartment - in January 1976. Hugh Llewelyn.
