On 15/05/1973 class 117 set L413 passes Crayford Station on a route learning run from Hoo Junction, through Dartford to Hither Green and then (probably) Reading. The lead car is probably 51355. This was a daily run at the time. I believe that this image of a DMU on the Dartford Loop line is unique. Robert Hope.

The footbridge on the down side of West Ealing station was a popular spot for railway photographers although not always the easiest place to stand on occasions due to one or two dubious characters who used it for peddling illegal substances! I spent most of a day there on 30 November 1989 and took an bagful of pictures including quite a few DMMUs on local trains. This one shows class 117 L413 (51349 + 59501 + 51391) working a Paddington to Slough service away from the station stop. Of interest in the background is the former GWR goods platform shelter now used as a partly-covered storage area. Peter Tandy.
