Motor Brake Composite W50705 was built at Swindon Works and entered service at Cardiff in 1957. It was still allocated to Cardiff when seen at Worcester Shrub Hill bound for Hereford on 28 March 1978. The other two vehicles in set C500 are presumably 59265 and 50647. Jeremy Chapter.
The Monmouthshire Railway Society ran their "Tintern Thunderbolt" railtour on 8 April 1978 using Cardiff-based Swindon cross-country set C507 and a Tyseley class 118 3-car set. Class 120 car W50668 is nearest the camera at the site of Trethomas station, but I have no record of the number of the class 08. Jeremy Chapter.
This is the RCTS "Midland Welshman No 2" railtour at Porth on 13 May 1978. These Swindon-built cross-country units were very comfortable and sought after for railtours where higher capacity was not needed. Car W50715 is nearest the camera, the other vehicles are W59588 + W50665. Jeremy Chapter.
On 21 July 1979 the RCTS and Southern Electric Group "Marchwood Volunteer No. 2" railtour is seen at Bedenham Siding. Set L416 was formed 51395 + 59505 + 51353 all in "blue band" livery. This set, built by Pressed Steel in 1960, ended its life in Scotland in the 1990s. Jeremy Chapter.
E56464 at the head of a mash-up class 105 unit at Kilmacolm on 8 January 1983, the last day of services on the branch. (It has since been reopened as far as Paisley Canal.) The driving motor second (50384) at the far end also had an "E" prefix to its number but carried an "AY" (Ayr) allocation sticker. The centre car of the formation was 51301. These Cravens-built cars were delivered between 1956 and 1959. Note that station signage has been removed. Jeremy Chapter.
Class 101 DMU set L202 (presumably 51225 visible) sits in Oxford station alongside 50 004 on 22 June 1988. Banbury is displayed on the destination blind. Chris McKee.
A derelict W55018 on Plymouth Laira depot in August 1976. Withdrawn not long before in period ending 24th July, it seems to have been out of use for some time, probably since the two Class 121s arrived at the depot in late 1974/early 1975. Chris McKee.
Class 121 W55025 (P125) sits alongside Class 122 W55018 (P118) in Plymouth Laira depot in August 1976. A steam tender is on the left. Chris McKee.
Class 126 DMU Sc51021 seen at Stranraer Harbour. A classic Scottish DMU type - my train arrived at Stranraer Harbour station where we were to board the Sealink ferry 'Ailsa Princess' for a crossing to Larne in Northern Ireland. Taken circa 1975 with my basic Kodak Instamatic using 126 cartridge film. Chris McKee.
A (blue square) Derby Lightweight DMU at Grange-over-Sands on 19 August 1967. The vehicles - M56267 and M50984 - were allocated to Accrington at the time. My late father, Stanley Smith, rarely took pictures with trains in them, this was a rare exception. It is from a 1 5/8 x 2 1/4 slide taken on a pre-war Zeiss Bellows camera. That's me with my back to the photographer on the wall. Nicholas T Smith Collection.
Three-car Met-Camm DMU set C812 (presumably 51463 + 59561 + 51533) seen at Minety Crossing at Stroud and despite the blind this was a service from Swindon on 2 March 1985. Nicholas T Smith.
A Class 117 DMU seen at St Mary's Crossing at Stroud on 2 February 1985. It is accessible via a small - probably private - dead end short lane to St Mary's Mill via a bridge over the Thames and Severn Canal. St Mary's crossing box is listed, though the lever frame has gone. Nicholas T Smith.
A Class 116 DMU with a blue centre car in Leamington Spa station on 26 January 1985. It is thought to be set TS619 formed of 53854 + 59598 + 53907. Nicholas T Smith.

The single unit DMMU Pandora was booked to visit the South-West on 25 June 2007 and to return to Derby the following day. The latter move was running as 5Z21, the 09.00 from Bristol Barton Hill depot, being routed via Didcot, Reading, Didcot because of a possession at Didcot West Curve to Oxford, Hatton and Birmingham. 960011, formerly 55025, is reported as being an early candidate for withdrawal so even though the light was quite poor I decided to have an attempt at a shot. I think that such a short train always looks better in an identifiable location with some background rather than open countryside and as Hatton station is only about a 12 minute drive from my home, I went there. Here is Pandora some 39 minutes early passing the down platform. Peter Tandy.
