51315
12th March 1986
Set: B472
Seen at Bere Alston on 12 March 1986 carrying set number B472, 51315 and 51330 had been allocated to Plymouth Laira since July the previous year so were set P472. No matter - in a few weeks they'd be Bristol vehicles again at the start of the summer timetable. Keith Miller.

12th May 1990
I did all too little photography of the South Wales branches and my only pictures on the line from Lime Kiln Junction near Newport to Oakdale Colliery are those showing The Caerwent Cannonball 2 DMU tour that ran on 12 May 1990. My notes give no indication at all of the various locations visited so the captions are necessarily vague. Two DMUs, a two car Class 118 (51315/51330) and a three car Class 116/108 hybrid (51133/59248/51136), were used and a headboard was carried on each end to make life easier for the crew during the several reversals on the other branches covered during the day. This view was taken not far from the start of the branch passing some architecture typical of the area. Peter Tandy.

The branch to Oakdale Colliery passed through some dense woodland as seen in this image of the tour in a heavily overgrown valley. The lack of recent traffic is shown well both by the rusty trackwork and the weeds beginning to encroach on the rails themselves. Peter Tandy.

In this shot the train was about to enter Penar Tunnel. The structure immediately in front of the tunnel mouth appears to be a cast iron aqueduct carrying a stream across the line which would have had to have been diverted when the branch was cut out of the hillside. Peter Tandy.
12th May 1990
My last shot on the Oakdale branch on 12 May 1990 was as the Caerwent Cannonball 2 (formed 51315/51330 + 51133/59248/51136) ran downhill and about to pass the Eagle Inn. I recall that the learner driver in what I think is a Talbot pulled out into the road making the white Fiesta make a rapid avoiding move to avoid an incident! Peter Tandy.

Unknown Date
A BRC&W suburban triple (W51316 leads) with a Cross-Country set on the rear, date/location unknown. Stuart Mackay Collection.
Unknown Date
Set: 474
Two suburban sets arriving at Paddington. Closest is set 474, a BRC&W build, presumably 51316 + 59483 + 51331. The set number was created in April 1968 when the vehicles were transferred from Southall to Reading. The second set looks like the closest power car has a white roof dome, suggesting we are still in the late 1960s. Graham Clark.
