January 1981
Set: 140
Derby Heavyweight Set 140 pulls away from a rural Houston and Crosslee station on a Kilmacolm working from Glasgow Central. The nearby town of Linwood, developed as post war overspill for Glasgow and Paisley along with the Rootes Car Factory, was poorly situated despite its proximity. The passengers here seem to be heading for nearby Brookfield to the south, accessed by a parallel footpath (to the left of the photograph) and footbridge well beyond the station. The villages of Houston and Crosslee were somewhat remote from the station and were over a mile away to the north. Note the 'running in board' rusting away on the left and the line of cast iron lamp posts - probably gas lights in a previous age! January 1981. alicia hartman.

Set: 150
The driver shields his eyes from the low winter sun as Hamilton based class 107 DMS Sc52032 leads 14:57 to Edinburgh out of Glasgow Central on24th January 1981. A class 303 working a Cathcart Circle service can be seen behind. Note the old Corkerhill allocation number 132 and later set number 150 on the 107 DMS. This seemed to be a spare vehicle that floated between sets and very soon after in would be in set 443 when the 4xx series was introduced. The Central to Edinburgh services could hardly be described as Inter-City with a pedestrian pace round the south. Sc52032 was withdrawn from Ayr depot around March 1984 having been a victim of the depot fire in the January. The by then closed store Paisleys, a once well known Glasgow tailors and outfitters can be seen behind. It closed in 1979 with the building demolished in 1993. A Jurys Inn Hotel now occupies the site. Bruce Galloway.

31st January 1981
Derby Class 107 DMU arriving at Bridge of Weir with a Kilmacolm service returning to Glasgow Central. The leading DMS here is numbered as Set 142 but the rear DMBS seemed to show Set 139 - see previous picture of probably the same Unit heading to Kilmacolm. Note the abandoned Greenock bound platform in the foreground. The skew bridge over the station is the parallel A761 to Kilmacolm that replacement bus services would follow upon closure of the railway. Saturday 31 January 1981. alicia hartman.
31st January 1981
Derby DMU and what might be Set 139 or 142 (see later picture) departs Bridge of Weir station for Kilmacolm with a service from Glasgow Central. The line was originally due for closure that day but was reprieved at the eleventh hour. This might explain the distinct ‘lack of interest’ in the departing train! However, the line soldiered on for a few more years and the end ultimately came in January 1983 with a final squeeze on PTE rail subsidies. Saturday 31 January 1981. alicia hartman.
31st January 1981
Westbound 107 DMU is dwarfed by the Renfrewshire countryside as it skuttles towards the last stop at Kilmacolm. Probably between Fodston and Scart Farms in what some maps show as Strathgryfe. Saturday 31 January 1981. alicia hartman.
31st January 1981
Taken quickly with limited further opportunities due to the impending closure of the railway! Eastbound 107 DMU catches some winter sun as it crosses the River Gryfe, half a mile west of Bridge of Weir station. It is returning to Glasgow Central on a working from Kilmacolm. Saturday 31 January 1981. alicia hartman.

Set: 150
Hamilton depot, 18 April 1981. Closest is a Class 107 vehicle, the odd placement of the overhead flash identifies it as SC52004. On the left is a single suburban vehicle, probably a 116. Stuart Mackay Collection.
9th May 1981
Class 107 DMU departs Glasgow Central High Level on the 14:50 to Edinburgh Waverley via Shotts. Platforms 1 and 2 are immediately behind the DMU. If you wanted to get to Edinburgh in a hurry this wasn’t the way to go with about 13 intermediate stops over the 46 miles to Edinburgh! Saturday 09 May 1981. alicia hartman.
12th May 1981
Derby Class 107 triple heads south and crosses Haggs Road on a skew bridge, forming the 12.14 Glasgow Central to East Kilbride service. The DMU has passed under the west side of the electrified Cathcart Circle and the next stop will be Pollokshaws West. The wooded area in the distance is part of Pollok Park. Ravenshall Road in the foreground leads up to Shawlands station on Cathcart Circle. Tuesday 12 May 1981. alicia hartman.
12th May 1981
Set: 135
Set 135 at Muirhouse South Junction, heading for Glasgow Central on the 10:12 from East Kilbride. The former Glasgow St Enoch line (St Enoch station closed in 1966) is on the right. The line on the left is the Cathcart Circle, electrified in 1962. The large building in the distance is the former Glasgow Corporation Tramway Works (Coplawhill). By that time it was the Transport Museum. However, it relocated to Kelvin Hall in 1987, only to further relocate to a new purpose built ‘Riverside Museum’ in 2011. Coplawhill Works is still extant as the ‘The Tramway Theatre’ but the shed nearest the railway was demolished and a Gurdwara has been constructed. Muirhouse South was previously known as Strathbungo Junction and the former Strathbungo station, closed in 1962, is immediately behind the camera. Tuesday 12 May 1981. alicia hartman.
30th May 1981
The Way it Was. Six car Derby Class 107 DMU racing towards Hillington East and Glasgow Central on an afternoon working from the Ayrshire coast. The vast majority of Ayrshire DMU services were non stop from Paisley Gilmour Street to Glasgow Central (omitting the intermediate stations at Hillington and Cardonald) and were usually flat out at this stage. A few DMU services stopped at Hillington West, probably for workers in the adjacent Hillington Industrial Estate, seen in the background. Saturday 30 May 1981. alicia hartman.

A Class 107 set in Kilmacolm station on the 18th June 1981, having just arrived with the 08:07 ex-Glasgow Central. The set number - 444 - is inside the left cab window, the vehicles are probably 52031 + 59804 + 52005. Hamish Stevenson.
