1974
Set: L416
At one time rare in Hereford, Reading based sets began to appear regularly with the start of a through train from Oxford in the early 70s. Here L416 runs into the "up" platform, ready for the return run. The tail-lamp is still in position from its last service... John Crooks.

Pressed Steel Class 117 set L414 (presumably 51398 + 59508 + 51356) at Maidenhead on the 13th May 74, in the days when tail lamps were used on DMU's. 54A South Dock.
1st June 1974
Set: L419
Reading allocated Class 117 W51408 in Birmingham New Street on 1 Jun 1974. Quite a long way from home I assume 2A10 was an afternoon DMU fill-in turn from Oxford or Banbury. Alistair Ness.

summer 1974
Selly Oak Station, Birmingham, Summer 1974. Built by the Midland Railway in 1876 Selly Oak station in the southern surburbs was unmanned & uncared for in 1974. Still served by these dmus from New Street to Redditch the NE-SW expresses hauled by Peaks swept through the station at speed. I had just arrived from King's Norton but not many others alighted. Not long afterwards in 1978 the whole historic lot was swept away & a modern brick & plastic replacement built. No doubt an improvement on the dereliction but not on the original which if renovated instead of demolished would have been very much better. Selly Oak station became part of the Cross City Line from Lichfield to Redditch & was electrified in 1993. The structure in the centre is the roof over the staircase which lead to the subway over to the Down platform. This has been replaced by a footbridge. Pete LG99.

19th October 1974
19th October 1974 - I braved the torrential rain to take this shot of the Midland Railway's Gloucester Eastgate station looking south with a dmu in the platform. The other end of the covered footbridge joining the two Gloucester stations is in the right background. The goods lines to left have already been lifted. I was waiting for a Southwest to Northeast Class 47-hauled train to take me back to Birmingham. The whole site today is a supermarket. What a surprise! Pete LG99.
