August 1987
Weird sight at Wester Hailes. The suburb of Wester Hailes grew rapidly in the 1970s but despite straddling the Edinburgh to Glasgow Central and Carstairs route, the locals were not provided with a station until May 1987. Three months after opening, we see the strange sight of a Swindon Cross Country class 120 DMU (53733 and presumably 59262 + 53654) stopping here on an Edinburgh to Glasgow Central via Shotts service. This was during the "anything goes" period where worn out DMUs displaced from Sprinterisation elsewhere were moved around the country and Scotrail got a few of these sets to tide them over during the latter half of the 1980s. Murray Liston.
August 1987
Class 120 Wester Hailes August 1987 A Glasgow Central bound train departs. Set 535 is presumably 53654 + 59262 + 53733. Alistair Ness.
August 1987
Class 120 Wester Hailes Aug 1987. A train for Glasgow Central arrives at this then relatively newly opened West Edinburgh station. Set 535 is presumably 53733 + 59262 + 53654. Alistair Ness.
circa late-Autumn 1987
DMUs in the big shed at Corkerhill depot circa late Autumn 1987. The Met-Camm is 101360, presumably 53158 + 59075 + 53160, the Swindon is set 535 presumably with 53654 closest. Brian Ward.
circa late-Autumn 1987
A Class 120 on Corkerhill depot circa late-Autumn 1987. This is presumed to be 53654. Brian Ward.
23rd November 1987
120535 departs from Dunlop with the 12.45 Kilmarnock - Glasgow Central train on 23-11-1987. I recorded the cars as 53654, 59262, 53733. Gordon Thomson.
23rd November 1987
120535 calls at Dunlop with the 12.45 Kilmarnock - Glasgow Central train on 23-11-1987. I've recorded the cars as 53733, 59262, 53654. The old goods shed & yard have been taken over by a builders yard, later to become housing. Gordon Thomson.
30th December 1987
Crossmyloof 30th December 1987. The Ayr Electrics had started as I arrived the year before in Ayrshire. In 1987, the Stranraers, Kilmarnocks and East Kilbride services were still first generation DMU out of Glasgow Central. This was their swansong before the Sprinters arrived. Ayr and Corkerhill depots were working miracles. Even as the 156s started, the plans to reopen Carmyle and Paisley Canal ensured that the final end for Class 101 was some years off. But back to 1987 IIRC the DMU choice was 101/104/105/107/116/120 with three livery choices. This set is all blue/grey but what was meant to be an Ayr 3 car 101 has a class 120 at the back - 53654. The TBSL centre car is presumably 59112. Robert Forsythe.
Unknown date
Set 535 appears to be formed from a Class 120 DMBC and two Class 101 vehicles when seen at Stirling on an unknown date. Tom Clift.
