Now this is proper rolling stock for a Rail Tour, no seat reservation, proper loading facilities, and if the heating is not working you have material at hand to light a fire. Location is Maesteg Llynfi Junction on the 3rd of July 1971. The tour was the Branch Line Society Dulais and Llynfi Valleys Tour, which started in Cardiff and used, apart from this interlude, a Class 116 DMU seen on the left. Loco is pannier tank 9642 now on the Dean Forest Railway. The KDH Archive.

Three class 116 DMUs combine on this Birmingham New Street to Hereford service as it passes Smethwick West on 27/5/1972. Whilst services in those days were not frequent, I would imagine that this was to move I or 2 of the units to Kidderminster or Worcester. The Rowley Hills can be seen in the distance.

A Cardiff Class 116 set at Barmouth in June 1972. The exhausts and the driver in the closest cab suggests it is heading to the right, despite the tail lamp. Mel Smith.
Class 116 Erdington in August 1972. Erdington was my local station when staying with my aunt on trips down from Scotland. I'm glad I took this mundane every day shot now which is one of my favourites. A long frame derby Suburban DMU is arriving with a New Street to Four Oaks or Lichfield City working. In those days it wasn't a Cross-City line (in fact back then there were only a few services a day to Redditch) and trains took up valuable platform dwell time at BNS while drivers changed ends.
