circa late 1959
A GRC&W DMU in Wolverhampton Low Level Spa station, date unknown. Closest is W51100 - still looking fairly new - so this could be circa late 1959. It was a Tyseley vehicle from delivery in July 1959 until moving to Chester in March 1967. A couple of items of note - the left marker lamp has a white lens slotted in, and there is a coach board fitted but turned inwards to hide the text. Stuart Mackay Collection.
circa 1960

13th January 1962
A GRC&W Cross-Country DMU seen in Birmingham Moor Street at 3.03pm on 13 January 1962 after arriving with a local service. Michael might have taken this image if it was the first yellow panel he saw - this was a very early application. Looking at the shine on the cab corner, only the lower half of the cab has been painted, the green having to be applied to cover the whiskers which spread wide than the yellow. Michael Mensing.

A GRC&W Cross-Country DMU in BR green with yellow "whiskers" (before yellow warning panels were introduced) leaving Swansea (High St) on a service to Carmarthen, Summer 1963. Scanned photograph taken by myself with a Brownie 127, hence quality is not the best! Hugh Llewelyn.
18th August 1963
With eight vehicles in view this is likely a nine-car Cross-Country formation. The first two sets are of the GRC&W variety, the rear set - with less roof vents - was Swindon built. DMSL W51092 leads the train into (or through) Braford Peverell and Stratton Halt on 18 August 1963, a station on the former Wiltshire, Somerset & Weymouth Railway which closed in October 1965.

A 3-car Gloucester Cross Country set with W51099 leading is assisted up the Lickey Incline hauled by 8400, the latter allocated to this task. The 119 continued unaided from Blackwell.
