Class 119 DMU at Norton Halt

24th August 1963

A Gloucester RC&W Cross-Country DMU led by W51099 in Norton Halt with a Worcester - Evesham train on 24 August 1963. Michael Mensing.

Class 120 DMU at Peartree

7th June 1983

This appears to be set 510, with a Class 101 centre car, seen at Peartree, just south of Derby on the Crewe line on 7/6/83. Ian Francis.

Class 120 DMU at Nottingham

31st July 1983

Between 1982 and 1984 I spent many happy hours with my friends chasing around the North of England after the remaining Class 40s. In between times, we did of course go bashing other quality classes, and the pairs of Class 20s that used to be employed on Summer Saturday workings from the Midlands to Skegness were always a riot! Seen here, on Platform 3 at Nottingham Midland station on Sunday 31st July 1983, is a vintage Swindon built Class 120 3-car DMU [Derby Etches Park based set EP510] - as we awaited our first Class 20 move of the day. DMSL 53667 is closest, the Met-Camm centre car and 120 DMBCL on the rear are presumably 59524 + 53713. Chris McKee.

Class 120 DMU at Rolleston

5th September 1983

Rolleston Station on the 5th of September 1983 with a Class 120 Cross Country DMU working the 2M84 17.33 Lincoln to Crewe service. My memories of these are travelling from Crewe to Nottingham on them when heading from Chester to watch Forest. If it was a weekday the hope was always that the seats directly behind the driver were 2nd class and the blinds were open. You always passed a succession of freight trains between Kidsgrove and Uttoxeter and the number could be gold dust if it was a Class 44! The KDH Archive.

Class 120 DMU at Sneinton Junction

June 1984

Swindon Cross-Country set 510 has just padded Meadow Lane crossing and Sneinton Junction box at Nottingham in July 1984. Mel Smith.

Class 120 DMU at Crewe

2nd April 1988

Chester allocated Swindon Cross-Country Class 120 DMU set 510 comprising of cars M53713 & M53703 at Crewe on the 2nd April 1988. Now converted to parcels use, the Red Star parcels branding can just be seen down the side. By this time these units were thin on the ground and all had been withdrawn before the year was out. The new generation of DMU in the shape of 150 124 can be seen along side on a Derby service. Andrew J Crowther.

Class 120 DMU at Tyseley

30th October 1988

Class 120 Set number 510 (though carrying 301 out of view on the same end) vehicle 53713 at Tyseley on 30th October 1988. Andrew Slack.

Class 120 DMU at Vic Berrys

15th January 1989

M53713 Vic Berrys, Leicester 15-1-89. It carries two set numbers, 510 and 301! Kevin Dowd.
