A class 118 dmu (B468, presumably 51325 59471 51310) on a Hereford to Birmingham New St service exits Rainbow Hill tunnel shortly after leaving Worcester Foregate Street.

Plymouth Laira Depot Class 118 three-car set P463 with W51320 leading (and preaumably (presumably 59472 + 51305 behind), bustles its way into Quintrell Downs with a Par to Newquay branch service on July 21st 1980. The hand-operated gated level crossing bisected the A5038 and along with its lower quadrant home signals the lady Crossing Keeper here controlled all the movements. Martyn Hilbert.

The original station site is in the background, now a large car park and a far cry from the days when St Ives had a small loco depot for the branch engine, and the line had through trains to and from London Paddington on Summer Saturdays. Martyn Hilbert.
