A Derby Class 107 set, labelled just as set 107, at Hawkhead with the 13:15 Ayr - Glasgow service on February 28, 1983. The Canal line had been closed a few weeks earlier, this was a diversion due to a derailment at Elderslie. Hamish Stevenson.
April 1983
Sunday Shift. Six car DMU on a Glasgow - Ayr service diverted due to Sunday engineering work, passing Paisley Canal Signal Box. The leading Derby Set includes a Metro Cammell Driving Car from what may be 101 325. The rear Set is 107 448. Timetabled passenger services on the Paisley Canal line ended in January 1983 with the withdrawal of the Kilmacolm service. April 1983. alicia hartman.
April 1983
Set: 107448
Sunday Shift. Derby 107 448 on the rear of a six car set, leaving Paisley Canal on a Glasgow Central - Ayr working. It is heading towards the mainline at Elderslie No.1. The Canal line closed in January 1983 but this is a Sunday diversion due to engineering work. For a period of time post closure, the Canal line acted as a relief during engineering works or emergencies on the main line via Gilmour Street. April 1983. alicia hartman.
4th April 1983
Set: 107431
Front end of Class 107 DMBS, Sc51991, part of set 107431 (and an old set number 137 showing through) with another clsssmate in the background, in the shed at Ayr depot. 4th April 1983. Paul James.
15th June 1983
Set: 1017440
Two Class 107s (107440 and presumably 52001 leading) approach the site of the closed Elderslie station at the head of the 09:45 Ayr to Glasgow Central service on Wednesday 15th June 1983. Elderslie was once a major junction on the old Glasgow & South Western system. Separate lines from Glasgow via both Paisley stations (Gilmour Street and Canal) once converged at the east end of the station whilst, to the west, the line to Greenock Princes Pier diverged from the main line to the Ayrshire coast and Stranraer. This view is looking west, the rusting rails leading towards Greenock can be seen diverging to the left just beyond the signal gantry before dropping down behind Elderslie No 2 box and passing under the Ayrshire lines to head north. The line from Greenock can be seen emerging from the right to the rear of the DMU. Elderslie station itself had closed in 1966 and this was taken from the footbridge which had once given access to the station, also now long gone. Brian McDevitt.
15th June 1983
Driving Motor Brake 2nd (formerly Driving Motor Brake Composite) Sc52032 leads a three car Class 107 through Elderslie with the 10:00 service from Glasgow Central to Ayr on Wednesday 15th June 1983. This view is looking east from the footbridge which once gave access to the station. The station site is indicated by the way the running lines deviate either side of the no longer extant island platforms in the foreground. The lines leading straight on beyond Elderslie No 1 box head towards Paisley Gilmour Street and Glasgow Central whilst the lines coming in from the right are the remnants of the Paisley Canal line, closed a few months previously. The signal arm on the eastbound line giving access to the Paisley Canal line has already been removed and presumably the army of permanent way staff on the right is indulging in a further bout of rationalisation. Brian McDevitt.
17th June 1983
Set: 107426
Class 107 set 107 426 (presumably 51986 leading) passes Lochside with the 17:20 Glasgow Central to Largs service on Friday 17th June 1983. Lochwinnoch is a small Renfrewshire village to the north west of the Barr Loch and Castle Semple Lochs. It’s first station opened on the main Glasgow to Ayr line, on the east side of these lochs, in 1840, approximately one mile south east of the village. In 1905 a new Lochwinnoch station opened within the village itself on the parallel Dalry and North Johnstone line, more commonly known as the Lochwinnoch Loop. Consequently this, the original Lochwinnoch station, was renamed Lochside from the same date. Inevitably traffic fell into decline at Lochside and the station eventually closed in 1955. However, Beeching had other ideas and the Lochwinnoch Loop was scheduled for closure. Lochwinnoch station closed in 1966 but incredibly Lochside station was reopened on the same date in an attempt to compensate for the closure of the loop line. Brian McDevitt.
17th June 1983
Set: 107429
107429 (51989 presumably leading) and another (with a Met-Camm vehicle on the rear) passes Lochside with the 17:25 Glasgow Central to Stranraer service on Friday 17th June 1983. My visit that day took some planning. Only five northbound and six southbound trains stopped there in each direction, the traffic being heavily biased towards Glasgow commuters. The last of the first four northbound trains departed at 10:21 leaving only one further departure at 13:21. In the southbound direction the first train to call was not until 16:00 in the afternoon. This was followed by three further trains taking us up to 18:25 and two more at 21:00 and 23:00 respectively. Fortunately, there were plenty of non-stop trains whizzing through for me to photograph. On 13th May 1985, Lochside reverted to its original name of Lochwinnoch. Since electrification things have improved dramatically and Lochwinnoch now has a basic half hourly service all day with additional trains during the peak hours. Brian McDevitt.
17th June 1983
Set: 107
Sc52021 leads the 16:58 Glasgow Central to Largs & Ardrossan Harbour service through Lochside station on Friday 17th June 1983. The train is composed of two three car sets which will divide at Ardrossan South Beach. The leading set is composed entirely of Derby Class 107 cars and will continue on to Largs. The trailing unit is also composed of Derby Class 107 cars sandwiching a Metropolitan Cammell Class 101 trailer. This unit will terminate at Ardrossan Harbour where it will provide a connection into the Caledonian MacBrayne sailing to Brodick. Brian McDevitt.

Set: 107434
The scene at Midcalder Junction circa 1983/4 after 107 434 (51994 closest) became derailed on the trap points. The empty stock had been put into the Up Goods Loop on the Shotts line for the driver to change ends, the set was to form a service from Kirknewton Station to Edinburgh Waverley. The train on the left is the Haymarket breakdown train. David Keppie.

Two 3-car sets of Class 107 DMUs await their next working (probably to Glasgow Central) in Ayr station on 1 August 1983. The closest vehicle is DMSL 52021, it has the digits 107 under the drivers window and the set number 432 in another cab window. The rear set has a Met-Camm centre car. Lewis Bevan.
