May 1976

Pressed Steel Class 121 vehicles W56280 (L280) and W55020 (L120) in Bourne End station in May 1976. Note the yellow handrail by the drivers door, perhaps a replacement that was once on the opposite side of a vehicle. Stuart Mackay Collection.

Class 121 DMU at Banbury

25th January 1986

This was taken at Banbury on 25 January 1986. At the time, there was no fence obscuring the view from the trackside just to the south of platforms and no-one seemed to mind if one stood there to take pictures. It was, of course, the ideal spot on a sunny Saturday afternoon when there was quite a variety of movements, both unit and locomotive hauled. This shot shows trailer 54280 and a single unit "bubble car" leaving the main line platform at Banbury on their way to Oxford as an all stations stopping service. Peter Tandy.
