May 1975
Metro-Cammell Class "101" Local Passenger 3-car dmu Nos.M50324 (101/1), M59123 (171), M50306 (101/2), of the 1958 batch with 2-character headcodes, in Rail Blue livery with all yellow front ends, at Hereford ready to depart on a service to Birmingham (New St), 05/75. Hugh Llewelyn.

BR (Swindon) Cross Country 3-car dmu (Class 120) No.C507 (consisting of Class 120/1, 179 & 120/2 cars) in BR Rail Blue & Grey with all yellow front end nearing Hereford on a Crewe - Cardiff service, 05/75. Hugh Llewelyn.
1976
Set: L711
Inter-City DMU set L711 (presumably 52091 closest) is seen in Hereford yard in 1976 after a failure. These sets appeared to be on their last legs, so I was surprised when they were sent North to join the Trans-Pennine units. John Crooks.
1976
Set: L711
A Class 123 (set L711, presumably 52091) in the yard at Hereford in 1976 after a failure. John Crooks.
1976
The "Inter-city" DMUs had a short tenure on the Cardiff - Crewe line. By the time they were re-allocated to Cardiff they were on their last legs, and loco-hauled substitutions became common - one such set of coaches being formed from the centre cars from these sets. Here, one is dumped in Hereford yard, presumably after a failure. It looks like the Stirling - Newton Abbot Motorail is passing...! John Crooks.
1976
A unusual working consisting of a two-car class 108 DMU leaves Hereford returning Northwards in 1976. This was the return working of the "two-car flyer", usually a "Central Wales" class 120 set, from Shrewsbury to Hereford and back again, but on this particular evening Shrewsbury had sent a class 108 instead. John Crooks.
1976
Set: C503
Class 120 DMU set C503 stabled at Hereford alongside 33 030 sometime in 1976. Brian Daniels.
circa 1976
Set: L707
A wet day at Hereford circa 1976 with a Crewe - Cardiff train formed of two Swindon "Inter City" units, set L707 would be allocated to Cardiff by this time, despite the L-series set number. John Crooks.
1976
A rare sight at Hereford at this time in 1976 - a Midland Region class 108 unit crosses over to the up line, ready to return to Shrewsbury. A two-car DMU set, almost always a "Central Wales" class 120, did a fill-in turn each evening, from Shrewsbury to Hereford, arriving at 19.00 on the dot... (I don't remember it ever being late !) - on this occasion, the 120 must have failed, or perhaps there was an incident in the wilds of Powys, and this set was turned out instead. John Crooks.
27th March 1976
Set: C502
Class 120 DMU set C502 alongside 33 030 at Hereford refuelling point on 27 March 1976. John Crooks.
10th April 1976
Set: C553
Class 120 DMU set C553 on Hereford depot on 10 April 1976. D1072 had arrived with a football special from Paddington via the Severn Tunnel. John Crooks.
August 1976
Set: L711
A class 37 is collecting a failed Class 123 unit (thought to be L711 / 52091) from the wall siding at Hereford in August 1976. These units seemed to be on their last legs, and I was surprised when they went to the Eastern Region, rather than the scrapyard...! John Crooks.
26th September 1976
Set: C501
Class 120 C501 (50706 + 59296 + 50648) and Class 119 B574 (51084 + 59415 + 51056) at Hereford. This was a shuttle to the Bulmers Railway Centre open day on 26th September 1976. Steve Davies Collection.

1977
Set: TY409
I think that this was the first Class 100 DMU that I'd seen in Hereford. Here it is at the rear of a Birmingham-bound train, passing a rake of Mobil gas tanks on the down main in 1977. It appears to be M50340 and is displaying set number TY409 so is likely part of a Met-Camm set. John Crooks.
Unknown Date
A Class 118 in Hereford station, circa late 1970s. K F Tomes Duckwailk.
