1st May 1979
Set: B573
Class 119 set B573 (W51083 + W59417 + W51055) at Severn Beach on 1 May 1979. Some students were conducting a passenger survey that evening and when they got to us asked "do you live on the beach"? Quick as a flash my friend Alan replied "no, I live in a house". My how we laughed. I don't think the poor lad knew what to make of that, nor our reason for travel and departing again on the same train, as it didn't fit neatly into any of his survey tick boxes!!! He avoided us on the journey back to Bristol. Alistair Ness.

16th June 1979
An unusual combination of a Class 119 DMSL and plain blue Class 105 DTCL or DMCL seen at Swindon on 16 June 1979. With no brake van in the set they are probably ex-works en-route to their home depots. With "Chesterfield" on the destination blind the 119 could be a Chester vehicle - on this date it only had one set, the DMSL being 51100. Nicholas T Smith.
