A wet day at Hereford circa 1976 with a Crewe - Cardiff train formed of two Swindon "Inter City" units, set L707 would be allocated to Cardiff by this time, despite the L-series set number. John Crooks.
A London Midland Region publicity image (negative D3410/4) showing a Swindon Inter-City DMU in Whitchurch station circa May 1976 - the month they began on Cardiff-Crewe services. There are two sets, L708 being a three-car. British Rail.
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.
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.

A Class 123 service on a 'shuttle service to Bulmers on 7 June 1977' seen at Hereford. However 7-6-77 was a Tuesday so the date could be wrong. Sadly the power car number is obscured but the TCKL is 59821, it normally worked with DMSKL 52105 and it matches this vehicle in other images. Stuart Mackay Collection.
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.
