The 14:01 Kilmacolm - Glasgow service at Paisley Canal station on December 31, 1982. The DMS closest appears to be 52023, carrying a set number of just 107 possibly due to frequent formation changes in that period. Hamish Stevenson.
A Class 107/105 hybrid is seen on the Kilmacolm branch shortly before closure. Class 105 DMBS 51493 leads. Stuart Rankin.

A Derby Class 107 arrives at Stevenston in 1983. John Law.
A Class 107 DMU approaches Johnstone station. Noted as 1983, the Class 126 in the sidings means this must be in January as that was their last month in traffic. Andrew McConnell.
"It's a sair fecht". A sea of mud welcomes this tenacious lady to Houston in January 1983. Behind 107 435 (presumably 51996) is working a service on the last days of the Kilmacolm line. Alistair Ness.

The end of the line - in more ways than one! Derby 107 triple sits at Kilmacolm in low winter sun, waiting to return to Glasgow Central during the last week. The GSWR line to Greenock Princes Pier was cut back to Kilmacolm in stages thence singled in 1973 from Cart Junction. The railway makes a sorry sight and a far cry from ‘boat trains’ passing through for Princes Pier. However, apart from the curtailed evening services, the latter-day hourly DMU commuter service to Glasgow was probably as good as it got. Tuesday 04 January 1983. alicia hartman.
With less than a week to go before closure, Class 107 triple awaits turnaround at Kilmacolm and the next rain shower! Three car sets were the generally the norm on off peak services but six car sets were used in the peaks or, indeed, the last ever arrival and departure. Tuesday 04 January 1983. alicia hartman.

Set 107 440 working the 12:07 Glasgow - Kilmacolm service at Elderslie on January 7, 1983. The DMBS closest is presumably 52001. Hamish Stevenson.
A Class 107 set at Elderslie with the 12:07 Glasgow - Kilmacolm service on January 7, 1983. The DMBS at the far end is marked 107 440, presumably 52001. The DMS closest has had part of the set number obscured, suggesting a recent change. Hamish Stevenson.
The 13:01 Kilmacolm - Glasgow service at Paisley Canal station on January 7, 1983, formed of a Class 107 service. Hamish Stevenson.
Last Days. Westbound DMU rolls into Crookston station on a Glasgow Central - Kilmacolm working. After closure, the footbridge was supposedly dismantled and re-erected at Auchinleck for the station re-opening in May 1984. Maybe not so unlucky for OB 13 after all! The station building was vandalised post closure but was eventually restored as a private dwelling. The former westbound platform at Crookston re-opened in 1990 as part of a truncated service to Paisley Canal. The line was effectively a single track from Dumbreck. However, a passing loop was added at Crookston on the Glasgow side of the Crookston Road over bridge in the background. The line was eventually electrified in 2012. Probably Friday 07 January 1983. alicia hartman.
