30th May 1981
Set: 126420
The Way it Was. Swindon Inter-City 126 420 and classmate racing towards Hillington East station on the 15:15 Ayr to Glasgow Central service. The quadruple tracks were reduced to two tracks with electrification to Gourock and Wemyss Bay in 1967. Much of the electrification steelwork was founded in the formation vacated by the fast lines. At least there were still two through routes to the Ayrshire coast at that time, one via Paisley Canal and this via Paisley Gilmour Street. However, this scene has much changed and a third track (electrified) has been installed as part of capacity improvements between Shields Junction and Paisley. Alas, the Paisley Canal line is no longer a through route. Saturday 30 May 1981. alicia hartman.
30th May 1981
The Way it Was. Six car Derby Class 107 DMU racing towards Hillington East and Glasgow Central on an afternoon working from the Ayrshire coast. The vast majority of Ayrshire DMU services were non stop from Paisley Gilmour Street to Glasgow Central (omitting the intermediate stations at Hillington and Cardonald) and were usually flat out at this stage. A few DMU services stopped at Hillington West, probably for workers in the adjacent Hillington Industrial Estate, seen in the background. Saturday 30 May 1981. alicia hartman.
30th May 1981
The Way it Was. Inter-City Class 126 DMU flying through Hillington East on the 16:35 Glasgow Central to Girvan working. Unless checked by signals, DMUs by this point would be flat out. Only Inverclyde EMU services stopped here and on late afternoons at that time, guards would deposit bundles of evening newspapers from their EMU brake vans for waiting delivery boys. Saturday 30 May 1981. alicia hartman.
26th April 1965
A Derby Heavyweight triple set (later known as a Class 107) with 'Glasgow St Enoch' on the destination blind stopped at Hillington East on 26 April 1965. Walter Burt.
1980
The Way it Was. Unidentified Class 126 DMU about to fly through Hillington East station en route to Glasgow Central from the Ayrshire coast. The headcode box on the non-drivers side of the DMSL has been blanked off. This may have been for some time - see Michael Laing picture on Railcar, possibly the same vehicle in BR blue days. Uncollated negative, so at a guess possibly autumn 1980. alicia hartman.
17th April 1961
Vehicle: 51049
Sc51049 leads two Swindon Inter-City three-car sets about to pass through Hillington East 17 April 1961. The second vehicle is a buffet car suggesting this is a St Enoch - Stranraer Harbour service. The leading set also has two vans, the third vehicle being one of the 79xxx series DMBSs. Stuart Mackay Collection.
