The Branch Line Society "The Clyde Forth" railtour on 23 August 1986. This is thought to be taken at Hawkhead, which was the first stop after the departure from Glasgow. Class 116 DMBS 53090 is closest. Brian Ward.
Class 116 DMBS 53090 sits next to 303 081 in Milngavie station with the Branch Line Society "The Clyde Forth" railtour on 23 August 1986. Brian Ward.
Railtour. Looking west as BLS Railtour crawls round to Old Kilpatrick. The leading Set is a Class 120 with MC centre car whilst Set 385 on the rear is a Class 116 including a 120 DMS. The line stopped short of the Caledonian station (closed in 1964) in advance of the Erskine Bridge seen in the background. Completed in 1971 the Bridge replaced the Erskine Ferry for which the CR station would have been well placed. The North British station at Kilpatrick was to the north of the village. The oil refinery was rail served (just visible to the left) but traffic probably ceased round about the late 70's and the adjacent Admiralty siding probably some time long before that. Saturday 23 August 1986. alicia hartman.
Railtour. Looking west between Dalmuir Riverside and Old Kilpatrick on Caledonian L & D as BLS six car DMU with Sc53090 leading returns to the (North British) mainline at Clydebank Central Junction. The Chivas Regal blending plant and bonded warehouses on the left were rail served (behind camera) but traffic was probably on its way out by this time. Whisky container tanks and VDAs were propelled back to Dalmuir Riverside for rounding before returning to Elgin / Keith via Mossend. The Erskine Bridge is visible against the skyline in the distance. Saturday 23 August 1986. alicia hartman.
Railtour. Looking west as six car BLS DMU pauses on the Caledonian L & D overbridge spanning Dumbarton Road in Clydebank. The traincrew have been talking to the signalman at Clydebank Dock Junction (actually in Yoker) before getting the road to the mainline at Clydebank Central Junction. The line to the right is a steeply graded BRB connection put in during the mid 70s from the CR line to the NB line below (forming Clydebank Central Junction). This allowed closure of the parallel CR line from here to Scotstoun West. Saturday 23 August 1986. alicia hartman.
DMUs pass in the loops at Lugton. Our unit crossing 116 385 during one of the "Strathclyde Family Transcard DMU Spectaculars". 30 August 1986. Andrew McConnell.
Class 116 set 385 is seen at Kilwinning with a Met-Camm center car, circa late 1986. 53132 leads, presumably with 59121 and 53839. Andrew McConnell.
In plain Rail Blue with GG Trans-Clyde DMS SC50881 is working with two blue/grey vehicles in this Class 116 DMU arriving into Glasgow Central circa early 1980s. Set number 387 can just be seen in the left cab window. Paul Redmond.
In plain Rail Blue with GG Trans-Clyde DMS SC50881 is working with two blue/grey vehicles in this Class 116 DMU arriving into Glasgow Central circa early 1980s. Set number 387 can just be seen in the left cab window, the destination blind shows Barrhead possibly ready for the next departure. Paul Redmond.
A Class 116 dmu (50822 presumably leading with 59330 + 50881) northbound on the Troon avoiding line, Lochgreen Jn. on 07-11-82. Image by A.Wilson. This view shows a train probably an empty stock working avoiding Troon on the loop line. Lochgreen Junction with its signal box is in the background. This was the original main line and was superseded in 1892 when the loop was built, bringing the passenger station into the town. This avoiding line closed shortly after this, on 28-11-1982, in preparation for re-signalling and electrification. Gordon Thomson.
Derby Suburban Set 387 brakes for Kilmaurs station on a northbound service to Glasgow Central. The station had reopened that day and was served by Glasgow - Kilmarnock local DMU services. Auchinleck station also re-opened the same day, generally served by Glasgow - Kilmarnock - Carlisle loco hauled services. Thus a trip between the two new stations at that time required a change at Kilmarnock. The new platform visible in the distance seems to be on the former Glasgow bound formation. Note the old goods shed to the right. Saturday 12 May 1984. alicia hartman.
Derby Suburban Set 387 approaches Kilmaurs station from the south on a Kilmarnock - Glasgow working. The section from Kilmarnock to Barrhead was singled circa 1973/4 (save for a passing loop at Lugton) and the former double track formation is evident here. Kilmaurs was closed in 1966 but the station had re-opened that day under the auspices of Strathclyde PTE. Frequencies were subsequently increased to half hourly many years later in 2009 with the construction of a 5.5 mile dynamic loop (further north) between Lugton and Stewarton. Saturday 12 May 1984. alicia hartman.
The DMS from Class 116 set 387 - presumably 53881 - in Glasgow Works circa 1985. Mike Bunker.
Class 116 DMU set 116 387 (formed 53090 + 59330 + 53881) is seen at East Kilbride station having arrived with the 10.00 from Glasgow Central on 09.07.1985. This line survived as a branch as it formed part of the Glasgow suburban network but was once a through route to Hamilton. The line that once extended beyond where the buffer stops are used to go through to Hunthill Junction on the Hamilton & Strathaven line. Adrian Nicholls.
DMU set 116 387 is seen waiting to leave East Kilbride with the 11.12 to Glasgow Central on July 9th 1985. The DMBS (far end) is 53090, the other two vehicles are believed to be 53881 + 59330. Adrian Nicholls.
"TransClyde GG" branded set 388 enters Johnstone on an unknown date, 53876 presumably leading. Andrew McConnell.
SC53876 is on the rear of a six-car Class 116 formation forming a Commonwealth Games shuttle departing Edinburgh Waverley for Meadowbank in July 1986. S Saunders.
Class 116 set 388 (presumably 53876 + 59354 + 53823) has just set down its passengers when seen at Meadowbank Stadium on 24 July 1986. It will form a special to Waverley. Hamish Stevenson.
Sc50877 at Millerhill Yard, circa 1986, which had become a bit of a dumping ground for old railway stock in the mid-1980's. The Class 116 DMS had been withdrawn in January 1983, and was boarded up because of its blue asbestos content. S Saunders.
In conjunction with the nearby Bescot open day on 6th May 1990 a series of DMU shuttles ran, this is a Tyseley allocated 4 car Derby Suburban DMU set T407 on the freight only spur between Darlaston Junction and Pleck Junction returning to Walsall with one of the shuttles. The vehicles are presumably 53916 + 59442 + 59594 + 51858, classes 116/116/127/115. Andrew J Crowther.
