A Gloucester RC&W DMU at Peebles with a Galashiels service. Undated, but the platform canopy has a paint date of 14/5/58 and it still looks clean so this is possibly late 1958 or 1959. Walter Burt.

May 1960 and a Gloucester Class 100 awaits the tail lamp being changed round for departure from East Kilbride. These units were removed from the Glasgow Central-Edinburgh Princes Street route due to complaints of rough riding and were evidently redeployed here.

A two-car Gloucester RCW unit (later class 100) is bowling past Bournville signal box, no doubt preparing to stop at Bournville station, circa early 1960s. The scene is dominated by the water tower of Bournville loco depot. To the left of the unit is Bournville signal box, as well as the main lines it controlled the entrance to Lifford Goods canal branch which followed the line of the canal. On this (undated) picture a brake van is parked on the approach to Lifford goods. Image taken by Peter Shoesmith. Geoff Dowling and John Whitehouse Collection.

A Gloucester RC&W DMU draws to a halt in Aston Station, Birmingham with a Walsall bound service. The picture dates circa 1962 as the first few signs of catenary are present, electrification would see the end of the signals and timber buildings which were replaced by the more basic structure we have today. The booking office is at ground level on Lichfield Road, the platforms being reached by steep flights of steps. Aston is an important junction, it is the point where the line to Lichfield diverges from the direct line to Walsall and Wolverhampton. To the right on the building end is a poster for the Cinéphone cinema, this stood on Bristol Road and specialised in "adult" films although nothing that cannot be seen on television today. The passengers are a very mixed crowd that range from smartly dressed businessmen to 'Compo' in the long mack and wellies, probably had a morning on his allotment. Image taken by Peter Shoesmith. Geoff Dowling and John Whitehouse Collection.
