Metro Cammell at Newton Abbot, 30 March 1975. Historically, the Western Region never had any Metro Cammell units - but that changed in the mid-seventies. I think this was one of the first I'd seen so far West, hence the photograph. John Crooks.

A Met-Camm 3 car diesel multiple unit on a Chester to Shrewsbury service leans to the curve through the closed Rednal station on 26th April 1975. Note the Great Western "SW" - Sound Whistle - on the Down line beyond the train. The Welsh mountains tower in the background much closer than they are in reality due to the telephoto effect. I had actually taken this shot as a test for the photos I would later take of 6000 King George V and 35028 Clan Line as they headed south on the two portions of the Mayflower steam special. It's a sobering thought that 36 years later it is actually the dmu that is the rarity. Clan Line could be on a steam special again but it's very unlikely that anyone would be able to, or even want to, run a dmu special between Chester & Shrewsbury! Pete LG99.

Class 101 and Class 103, Barmouth, June 1975. The combination of the driver in the cab and the tail lamp indicate this is the mid-afternoon shunt, preparing for the afternoon school train. Tony Watson.

Long ago at Lambley. A Class 101 arrives at Lambley with a service from Alston to Haltwhistle on Tuesday 15th July 1975. The Alston branch ran through the valley of the river South Tyne between Haltwhistle in Northumberland and Alston in Cumbria. The line closed to all traffic on 3rd May 1976, in what may have been the final act in the implementation of Beeching's cuts. Tom Harper.
Rural railway byway. In this image taken by my dad, taken on Tuesday 15th July 1975, a Class 101 dmu leaves Lambley station, bound for Haltwhistle. Tom Harper.
If Botanic Gardens were short of dmu's in Summer then the turn that sometimes got a loco and stock on a weekday was the 10.28 To Bridlington and return, followed sometimes by another return trip to Bridlington in the afternoon that left Brid just after 6. Anyway on Tuesday 15th July 1975, 20092 is waiting to leave Hull for Bridlington on the 10.28. It is surrounded by DMUs, a 105, 104 and 101s. The KDH Archive.
