Two-car and three-car Cross-Country DMU sets in Llangadog station with which was thought to be an excursion to Shrewsbury. Taken on 9 July 1972, closest is set C600 presumably 50702 + 50664. Robert Thomas.
BR (Swindon) Cross Country 3-car dmu (Class 120) No.C600 (consisting of Class 120/1, 179 & 120/2 cars) with Central Wales Line headlamp between cab windows, in BR Rail Blue & Grey with all yellow front end, at Ferryside on a Swansea (High St) - Carmarthen (Town) service, 04/75. Hugh Llewelyn.
Class 120 set C600 (presumably led by 50664) seen at Llanwrtyd Wells from a passing train (a railtour?) circa 1976. Image taken by John Vaughan. Stuart Mackay Collection.
The Central Wales Line used to be operated with pairs of class 120 "Cross Country" motor coaches fitted with headlights (at a time this was unusual in Britain) because of the numerous level crossing on the line. The photo was taken on a circular "Central Wales roundabout" ticket which allowed one to travel from London to Swansea, Shrewsbury (via the Central Wales) and back to London (or v.v) for a bargain fare. I imagine this was taken (at Llanwrtyd Wells on September 16, 1978, presumably 50664 + 50702) while waiting for another train to cross. The line, from Llanelli to Craven Arms, is now known as the Heart of Wales line. Jeremy Chapter.
Class 120 DMU set C600 (W50664 + W50702) on Swansea Landore depot, 30 June 1979. Brian Daniels.
Set C600 (presumably led by 50702) is seen at Llanwrtyd in 1980. Hamish Stevenson.
Swindon Cross-Country "power twin" set C600 (50702 and presumably 50664) at Pembroke Dock on a very wet 17th July 1980. Tony Watson.
C600 (presumably led by 50664) is amongst this variety of vehicles seen at Llandrindod Wells. Undated. Tom Clift.
Do you have any images of the set you can add?
