Class 127 DMU at Cricklewood

20th October 1978

In the vanished World of the Midland main line before electrification, sunlight was reflecting on a Derby Class 127 four-car 'Red Triangle' DMU with Driving Motor Brake Second M51636 leading, whilst arriving at Cricklewood with Bedford to London St Pancras service on October 20th 1978. With Rolls-Royce engines and Hydraulic transmission fitted to the outer driving cars, there were 30 x 4-Car sets built at Derby in 1959. They spent all their lives working the intensive suburban services to and from Bedford, and by the time the last four-car set was withdrawn prior to electrification in 1983, the fleet was 'well worn'. Martyn Hilbert.

Class 127 DMU at London St Pancras

12th April 1980

All change at London St Pancras on April 12th 1980. A service from Bedford has arrived formed of two, 4-Car Class 127 'Red Triangle' DMU sets with Driving Motor Brake Second M51636 bringing up the rear complete with an oil tail lamp. St Pancras was undergoing a major upheaval in readiness for the forthcoming Bed-Pan Electrification Scheme which would see the end of the 1959 Derby built Diesel Hydraulic DMUs in favour of new Class 317 EMUs. Martyn Hilbert.
