Vehicle: 51077 Set: L586
These are easily my favourite dmus simply because I worked on them when at Selhurst Depot. Class 119 set L586 (51077 closest, presumably with 59420 + 51105) halts at the timeless station of Betchworth on a Tonbridge to Reading stopping service on 17th June 1980. Ian Buck.

22nd November 1980
Vehicle: 51055 Set: L573
A spot I know well as spent 5 years going across the level crossing here on my way to and from work until 2019. Betchworth on the 22nd of November 1980 and Class 119 dmu set L573 (probably 51055/59417/51083) is I would guess about to run through as it is working the 1O70 13.10 Reading to Gatwick service. At the moment the Reading to Redhill's stop at Betchworth but not the Gatwicks so maybe it was the same 40 years ago. Set L573 seems to have worked out of Reading from at least 1980 to 1987.

August 1989
