Details

A so-called "first generation" dmu (Class 120 set 553) enters Yeovil Pen Mill station with the 14:55 Weymouth - Cardiff service on Tuesday 12th August 1980. The two platform faces seen here are quite unusual, I think, certainly for this part of the world. I'd travelled down that morning from Keynsham behind a class 47, and it seems, based on evidence from the same film, that the purpose of the trip was to photograph class 50s on Waterloo - Exeter services at Yeovil Junction.

Note the painted/covered over destination blind box, and the missing set prefix. Set 553 had been transferred from LA to CF circa April that year - the P could have been peeled off and awaiting a C.
