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.
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.
Taken quickly with limited further opportunities due to the impending closure of the railway!

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.
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.
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.
