A two-car BRC&W DMU in green with a bubble car in blue leading at the far end - there is no sign of a headcode box on the cab so probably a GRC&W built - seen near Lydford in the late 1960s. Stuart Mackay Collection.

A BRC&W suburban triple set at Dawlish on 6 July 1968. W51307 leads, presumably with 59474 and 51322. David Mant.
March 1969
Thought to be a Class 118 "twin" in the early variant of BR blue (with half yellow panel), hauling no less than three milk tankers at Stuart Road, Plymouth. Reportedly limited to two tankers if loaded, the presence of three suggests these are "empties" possibly returning to Saltash. The tankers were often tripped between Saltash and Plymouth by steam auto trains for onward attachment to London expresses. In latter years, the same routine continued with DMU's. March 1969. Bernard Mills.
June 1969
A BRC&W suburban twin after arriving into platform 6 of Plymouth station with a service from Gunnislake in June 1969. Doug Nicholls.

The terminus at Kingswear, photographed on 12 August 1969. The branch train in the platform is a 2-car Class 118 unit with 51312/51327. The Paignton-Kingswear line was sold by BR to the Dart Valley Railway on 30 December 1972. An initial service on the branch, which became the Paignton and Dartmouth Railway, commenced on 1 January 1973. Lewis Bevan.
