17th April 1979
Ardrossan Winton Pier station closed in 1987 when Ardrossan Harbour station opened slightly further inland. On 17 April 1979 a Derby-built Class 107 diesel unit stands at the platform adjacent to a sign pointing up the stairway to the "Belfast Ferry". Unfortunately this had ceased in 1976. In 1979, the ferry services from the adjacent pier sailed to Brodick. Jeremy Chapter.

A class 107 DMU is seen arriving at Bridge of Weir in May 1980. The line here was singled in the early 1970s and closed completely in 1983. Murray Liston.
25th May 1980
Passing Derby DMUs in Paisley Gilmour Street station on 25 May 1980. The departing Class 107 has Largs in the destination blind, the 116 on the left was probably also on an ex-Largs service. Stuart Mackay Collection.
September 1980
Class 107 Crookston Dec 1980. Living in Paisley at the time I took a day out one Saturday to film the Ayr (formerly Hamilton based) Derby's as we called them on the Paisley Canal line and Kilmacolm branch. Why I did this in December and not when the weather was better I'll never know! Leaving everything to the last minute I suppose. Alistair Ness.
27th September 1980
Derby Heavyweight 107 DMU departing Crookston station and next stop is Paisley Canal on the 15.07 Glasgow Central to Kilmacolm. Saturday 27 September 1980 and the signalman is on duty, just visible inside the Signal Box. alicia hartman.
15th November 1980
Six car Class 107 DMU speeds past Elderslie No.1 Signal Box on 14:00 Glasgow Central - Ayr service from Paisley Gilmour Street. The rear Set has one all blue DMBS car. The Gilmour Street lines are straight behind whilst the Paisley Canal lines veer off to the right, behind the DMUs and Signal Box. Rumoured to be the last surviving GSWR signal, a lower quadrant shunt signal was still extant at Elderslie (see cracking David Christie picture on Railcar). Whilst the rail infrastructure has changed out of all recognition post electrification, a view here is no longer possible - the road overbridge has gone, as have the Millarston high flats in the distance on the left! Saturday 15 November 1980. alicia hartman.
15th November 1980
Derby Class 107 DMU crosses the mainlines at Elderslie No.1 Signal Box onto the Paisley Canal lines with 14:03 Kilmacolm - Glasgow Central working. There was one Kilmacolm train a day via Gilmour Street in the last public timetable, an early morning service that stopped at Hillington West, Gilmour Street thence Houston and Crosslee as normal. There was no return working in the public timetable. Kilmacolm line services from Cart Junction and Elderslie No.2 came in on the line second from left. Kilmacolm bound trains were routed onto the line leading off to the right towards Elderslie No.2 Signal Box. Elderslie station closed in 1966 and the two island platforms were in the large gaps either side of the mainlines in the foreground. Saturday 15 November 1980. alicia hartman.
December 1980
Largs station in December 1980 and a six car 107 set departs for Glasgow on a typically dreich afternoon. At that stage, Largs still had three platform faces - Platform 1 nearest with the Derby Heavyweight departing from Platform 2. Platform 3 is behind the DMU. Note the 'running in board' in the middle of the platform and the signal box beyond the road bridge. Despite the three platforms the station throat was rationalised some years previously. The signal box burned down in the mid eighties, before electrification and further track rationslisation. Today, Largs has two platform faces (what were Platforms 2 and 3) at the end of what is effectively a single track electric branch from Ardrossan South Beach. alicia hartman.

Class 107 Crookston Dec 1980. Living in Paisley at the time I took a day out one Saturday to film the Ayr (formerly Hamilton based) Derbys' as we called them on the Paisley Canal line and Kilmacolm branch. Why I did this in December and not when the weather was better I'll never know! Leaving everything to the last minute I suppose. Alistair Ness.

Living in Paisley at the time I took a day out one Saturday to film the Ayr (formerly Hamilton based) Derby's as we called them on the Paisley Canal line and Kilmacolm branch.

Class 107 Houston Dec 1980. This is one of my favourite pictures. Living in Paisley at the time I took a day out one Saturday to film the Ayr (formerly Hamilton based) Derby's as we called them on the Paisley Canal line and Kilmacolm branch. Why I did this in December and not when the weather was better I'll never know! Leaving everything to the last minute I suppose. Alistair Ness.

Class 107 Johnstone Dec 1980. Living in Paisley at the time I took a day out one Saturday to film the Ayr (formerly Hamilton based) Derby's as we called them on the Paisley Canal line and Kilmacolm branch. Why I did this in December and not when the weather was better I'll never know! This shot is actually on the main line to Ayr and not the branches referred to but was taken on the same day as the others. Alistair Ness.
December 1980
Class 107 Kilmacolm Dec 1980. Living in Paisley at the time I took a day out one Saturday to film the Ayr (formerly Hamilton based) Derby's as we called them on the Paisley Canal line and Kilmacolm branch.

Class 107 & 116 near Linwood Dec 1980. Living in Paisley at the time I took a day out one Saturday to film the Ayr (formerly Hamilton based) Derby's as we called them on the Paisley Canal line and Kilmacolm branch. Why I did this in December and not when the weather was better I'll never know! This shot is actually on the main line between Gilmour Street and Johnstone and the train comprising two different three car sets may well be a Boat Train from Ardrossan Harbour to Glasgow Central. Alistair Ness.

A Class 107 unit leaves Glasgow Central and heads for Ayrshire sometime in 1981. Tony Walmsley.

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.
