A tatty-looking Gloucester Class 128 Motor Parcels Van, M55993 with an ex Southern Railway PMV van at the rear, was keeping company with a Class 101 DMU in the sidings at Shrewsbury on June 23rd 1979. There were 10 Class 128 MPV's built in 1959/1960, six were gangwayed and four were non-gangwayed. A lack of work and surplus loco-hauled parcels/mail vehicles saw the last of the class withdrawn in 1991. Martyn Hilbert.

Both were new in 1958 and withdrawn in 1987. Seen at Shrewsbury on 11 October 1980. Jeremy Chapter.
