A very nice mixture - a parcels 116, GUV and 128. Ian believes that this was L243 or 343 (which may have been 50915 with an unrecorded 128 - 91 or 92). The GUV is one of the blue square conversions, note the gap between "Rail" and "Express Parcels" where "Air" used to be! Taken at Langley in 1976. Ian McDonald.

This is the scene at the back of Southall shed, where we can see two of the spare DMU vehicles that were used at the time, replacing damaged Class 117 Pressed Steel cars. Class 116 W50083 was the only one of the class that worked out of Paddington and W59543 was one of only three Met Cams - all centre cars - both seen in this shot, along with W55991 one of the two allocated Class 128 parcels units. I would have been on one of my frequent 'after school' visits to Southall footbridge to do a bit of train-spotting, circa early to mid 1970s. Sometimes I would venture down to the trackside, as in this shot, and even bunk round the shed as on this occasion. I used to like 'running the gauntlet' to try and get to the back of the shed, and then wend my way back slowly so I could 'cop' as many units on the walk back before I got thrown out ;) There was often a collection of interesting stray vehicles stored at the back of the shed, as seen in this view. Chris McKee.
Class 116 M50072 at Southall carrying set number L370 in the cab window, TC M59009 is the centre car. Date unknown, they spent some time in 1974/5 allocated to Reading. In the upper right is a Class 128/116 parcel combo. Stuart Mackay Collection.
Class 116 trailer composite M59009 seen at Southall. It is working with DMBS M50072 labelled as L370. Date unknown, but the normally Tyseley based vehicles were at Reading 10/74 to 5/75. Note the GRC&W parcels car working with a suburban vehicle, probably one of the Class 116 parcel conversions. Stuart Mackay Collection.
Class 116 DMBS W50083 leads set L440 into Paddington on 16 August 1976. The other vehicles are presumably 59543 (101) and 51399 (117). Phil Bevan.
