Vehicle: 54493
A Class 108 2-car DMU, consisting of 54493/51942, departs Wellingborough on May 8, 1987, with a working to Corby during the short period between 1987-1990 that Corby station was open on an "experimental" basis. Lewis Bevan.
May 1986
This photo is a bit of a mystery to me. It was taken on either Friday 9 or Saturday 10 May 1986. The two-car DMU is showing "Special" on the destination board, and I have no idea of its originating point or destination. DMU workings were very rare at Wellingborough at this time, although they became a bit more common once Corby station was re-opened a year or two later. Would anyone have any suggestions as to what this working was? Lewis Bevan.

In the late 1980s Network South East launched an experimental service from Bedford and Kettering to Corby, well outside of NSE's normal area. The service used DMUs from Bletchley's allocation, and on Saturday 11th February 1989 a 4 car set made up of 53599 59735 59206 and 51572 (closest) depart Wellingborough for Corby. AndrewHA.

6th December 1987
Vehicle: 54080 Set: 87
The weekend of 5/6 December 1987 saw the last semaphore signals between Leicester and Bedford replaced by colour light signals. I spent part of the Sunday around Wellingborough taking a few photos of the old gantries being removed etc, and got this photo of a 2-car Class 101 unit (Norwich set 87, 54080 visible) on a special working at Wellingborough. I think this unit was being used to transport signalling engineers around the area, and, from memory, I think the 2 chaps walking along the platform had just alighted from this dmu. Lewis Bevan.
