DMU thrill at Rhyl. On 3rd June 1978 BR ran a Mystex from Edinburgh to Rhyl, a change from the usual destinations of Blackpool or Southport. At Rhyl I took this Instamatic shot of a DMU, with a Gloucester Cross Country class 119 substituting for one of the Park Royal class 103 cars. Murray Liston.
A mixed formation of (mostly) Class 101 Metro Cammell DMU vehicles but led by a Class 103 (Park Royal) vehicle seen near Cosford with a Wolverhampton bound service in July or August 1978. Bob Belcher.
Hooton on the 28th of July 1978. Class 103 Park Royal DMU has either just worked or is about to work the 2F73 service. The dmu is heading for Helsby but although we frequently travelled from Chester to Rock Ferry in the 70's I can't remember if the Helsby services started from Rock Ferry at the time or just ran from Hooton. I certainly remember rattling along the North Wales cost on Chester Park Royals many a time. The KDH Archive.
A Class 103 DMU at Holyhead on 23/08/1978. The Class 103s had a career spanning some 25 years, which is surprising considering they were considered non-standard in terms of their bodywork construction, which gave trouble in later years. They tended to be concentrated on services along the border counties between England and Wales, as well as Wales. Graeme Phillips Collection.

50402 at Llandudno on May 27, 1979. Class 103 DMUs were known as "Park Royal" units, although actually built by Crossley in Manchester. The driver has not changed the blind display so I cannot guess where this train was headed. Jeremy Chapter.
