September 1965
Set: 511
A Gloucester RC&W Cross-Country DMU and a Derby suburban set (one vehicle lined) are seen with the 4.05pm Birmingham Snow Hill - Reading - Paddington service north of Croperdy in September 1965. Leading is M51072 with Tyseley set number 511 in the cab window, Michael Mensing.
1966
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.
mid-1960s
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.

circa 1967
Set: 501
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.
circa 1967
Set: 501
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.
circa 1967
Set: 501
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.
Unknown Date
Maybe a 119? A 3-car and a 2-car seen at Saltash on the line from Bere Alston, date unknown. Steve Davies Collection.
1967
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.

GRC&W and Swindon Cross-Country units seen just north west of Dorchester on June 4, 1967. Michael Mensing.
4th June 1967
A Class 119 set in an early variation of rail blue livery, and unusual as most of the Class went from green straight into blue / grey. Taken at 3.32pm on the 4th June 1967 just north of Dorchester West and believed to be a relief for a loco-hauled Westbury - Weymouth that passed 20 minutes earlier. Michael Mensing.

May 1968
Class 119 Birmingham New Street in May 1968. I had just dropped a lens for my camera onto the platform and was shooting a lot of pictures to finish the film so that I could send it away and see what effect the accident had had on the image quality - quite bad as it turned out. Curly42.
6th July 1968
A Gloucester Railway Carriage & Wagon (Class 119) DMU passes the little halt at Gogarth on Saturday 6 July 1968, working to Wolverhampton Low Level, presumably from Barmouth.

Kevin Lane Collection.
