In the mid 1960s, a Tyseley based Gloucester RC&W 'Cross-Country' set was scheduled to work what was known in the Chester/Wirral area as "the Leamington" - a Leamington Spa - Birkenhead service which - prior to be taken over by one of these sets - had usually been hauled by a "Hall" class 4-6-0 as far as Chester. One of these sets is seen here passing Port Sunlight in 1966. The style of the yellow panel shows that the last repaint had taken place at Swindon. David Faircloth.
A two-car GRC&W Cross-Country DMU at Newbury, heading for Reading. Reading had two of these sets from 1964 (51053 + 51081 and 51061 + 51089). Both were blue by March 1967 which dates this to mid-1960s. Graham Clark.

A two-car GRC&W Cross-Country DMU labelled set 501 at Bedwyn. Undated, but the plain blue livery with small yellow panel dates it as the late 1960s. The vehicles are probably 51089 + 51061. Graham Clark.
Cross-Country GRC&W set 501 at Bedwyn in the late 1960s, the vehicles are probably 51089 + 51061. The marker light adjacent to the tail lamp is missing it's lens, perhaps been caught by a tail lamp being put on / off? Graham Clark.
A two-car GRC&W Cross-Country set at Bedwyn circa 1967. At the time Reading had two two-car sets allocated, 500 and 501, formed from 51053/61 and 51081/89, so this could be 51089 + 51061 if the higher set number contained the higher numbered vehicles. The two sets were transferred to the unlikely location of Inverness in May 1968. Graham Clark.
Maybe a 119? A 3-car and a 2-car seen at Saltash on the line from Bere Alston, date unknown. Steve Davies Collection.
A Class 119 DMS in Swindon Works in the summer of 1967. Sadly the last digit of the W5108x number is obscured. Although the cab door is open its clear that it has been painted yellow, as have the wipers. Underneath the BIS box is in orange and the radiator in silver. David Faircloth.
