Class 120 DMU at Glen Parva Junction

Unknown date

A Class 120 DMU carrying set number EP510, presumably 50667/53667 closest, approaches South Wigston station at Glen Parva Junction in Leicester circa 1985. Stuart Mackay Collection.

Class 120 DMU at Stratford-upon-Avon

25th May 1985

For the 1985 Summer timetable an 06.37 Saturdays Only Stratford-upon-Avon to London Paddington train was introduced. Contrary to a rumour started by one of the station staff at Stratford this was not a class 50-hauled train to match the weekdays Paddington to Birmingham express which ran via Hatton but a DMU formed on most occasions of a pair of 3 coach Tyseley class 166 units. On 25 May 1985 I saw the ECS arriving from my then home's kitchen window and went to the station to capture this view of a pair of Derby-based class 120s led by EP510 (probably 50713 + 59257 + 50667) in platform 2 with 55012 heading a 3 coach class 116 in P3. It was common practice at the time for Tyseley to use whatever resources they had available but this was the only time that I saw anything but class 116 units on this train. Peter Tandy.
