Scottish Region Metro Cammell DMU (set 237) at Dundee station. Whilst based in Montrose on holiday, the young photographer managed to visit Aberdeen, Dundee, Kirkcaldy and Edinburgh Haymarket. A 6-car DMU is seen in one of the bay platforms at Dundee, headed by a 3-car Metro Cammell unit. Interestingly, the Dundee-Edinburgh trains reverted to loco haulage in the 1980s - many a fine ride behind steam heat 'Tip Tops' (Class 27s) was to be had until 1986. Taken with my basic Kodak Instamatic using 126 cartridge film. Chris McKee.

Most photographs of the erstwhile Haltwhistle-Alston branch show Alston itself or Haltwhistle, so this example from Lambley is unusual. Here, on 09/08/1975, with less than a year until closure, a Class 101 DMU departs from the station and is about to head north over the viaduct with 1625 Alston-Haltwhistle.

On 29th August 1975 a dmu heads south from Towyn station on the Cambrian coast past a fully functioning goods yard & Great Western lower-quadrant semaphore signalled loops. A coal wagon is being manually unloaded into a truck on the left & a loading gauge guide still hangs delicately above the siding on the far left. The train will swing round to the right around the mountain ahead to run along the coast of Cardigan Bay & to the next stop at Aberdovey before crossing the River Dovey estuary and joining the line from Aberystwyth at Dovey Junction. The steps on the left & the board crossing over the tracks are to allow the signalman to walk over & exchange the train staff with the driver of the dmu. Towyn signal box is just out of shot to the right. Pete LG99.
