8th January 1983
Set: 105373
105373, made up of 3 driving vehicles (50384 + 51301 + 56464), pauses at Paisley Canal Station on the last day of operations of the branch, 8 January 1983. The line between Kilmacolm, Elderslie and Shields Junction closed completely to scheduled passenger services on 10 January 1983, although the section to Paisley Canal subsequently reopened and is now electrified. A temporary footbridge replaces the former wooden booking office, which was situated on the road bridge with staircases to each platform. The main station building was converted to a pub. The new station is a single terminus platform on the other side of the bridge. Andrew McConnell.

Single DMBS 50384 is attached to 51301 and 56464 at Kilmacolm on January 8th, 1983. The headboard requires a little bit of explanation - the last two surviving Class 126 sets had somehow managed to escape withdrawal at the time of the line's closure and one of the Swindon Diesel Preservation Society members had contacted BR to enquire if the sets could be rostered for service on the last day. A headboard was knocked up in the hope that something could be arranged. In the event, the Swindons were not rostered and the board seemed somewhat inappropriate, but was mounted for a short time at Kilmacolm for photographs. Andrew McConnell.

Last Day No.23. Cravens 105 373 triple idles at Kilmacolm and is probably waiting to form the 16:01 service for Glasgow Central. An old notebook suggests this was DMBS E50384 (nearest) + DMBS E51301 + DTSL E56464. This may have been the last daylight departure from Kilmacolm. The masonry wall to the left is the corner of the former goods shed. Whilst the station buildings survived closure as a pub, the goods shed succumbed to redevelopment and was flattened to make way for housing. Saturday 08 January 1983. alicia hartman.
