Class 127 DMU at north of Harlington

20th June 1965

M51616 leads the 7.40pm Bedford Midland Road - St Pancras service seen north of Harlington on Sunday 20 June 1965. The rear car seems to be of a different type, possibly one of the Cravens (Class 113) vehicles it had at the time. Michael Mensing.

Class 127 DMU at St.Pancras

5th June 1983

Pair of class 127 4-car units await custom at St.Pancras early morning Sunday 5th June 1983. M51616 is on the left, note the blue/grey liveried TSL in the set, several trailers were soon to be transferred for use elsewhere (hence the relivery) when the class ceased operations on the 'BedPan' line. DMBS M51650 leads the unit on the right. Iain Reid.


The vehicle is mentioned in the following images:
