This negative was noted as "the last train Nottingham Victoria", but I'm not sure how accurate that is. Taken on Saturday 2 September 1967 the station officially closed the Monday after so there was likely no Sunday service. The three-car Cravens - the closest number looks like it could be M50768 - would probably be on a working to/from Rugby. Stuart Mackay Collection.

According to the photographer's notes (Michael Brown), this Cravens DMU at Nottingham Arkwright Street is forming the last southbound service over the GC, which then terminated at Rugby, on 3 May 1969. A few enthusiasts appear to be about, including one with a cine camera on the train itself. No wreaths or a headboard are in evidence, however. The station was demolished in 1975, with no trace now remaining. Kevin Lane Collection.

After the end of steam & into the early 1970s I didn't take many railway photos and the ones I did take were not really planned. This shot of a BRC&W diesel multiple unit at Nottingham Midland station in 1972 was taken on a dark, grey, February afternoon and was badly underexposed. Pete LG99.
