L576
7th May 1983
51062
The annual Spalding Flower Parade would bring many specials to the town and on 7 May 1983 we see two Class 119 sets, including L576 (51062 + 59421 + 51090) either coming out or in of the sidings at Spalding. The sign in the window notes it was Chiltern Trains 1Z49. The July 1983 Railway Observer (p270) notes this as running from West Ruislip with the second set being L578 (51092 + 59423 + 51064). Stuart Mackay Collection.

At Chilworth class 119 set L576 (51062 and presumably 59421 + 51090) on 22nd March 1984. Ian Buck.

September 1986 or 1988
51062
Class 119 set L576 (presumably 51062 + 59421 + 51090) at Southall. The date is noted as either September 1986 or September 1988! Stuart Mackay Collection.
7th September 1988
51062
I took what was a mundane photo at the time in order to document the initial stages of the rebuilding of Guildford station, and already in this 7th September 1988 scene, the roof on the western side of the long footbridge had already been removed, and hoarding put in place, presumably to protect the flower bed of roses. It was also a livery transitional period, for the furthest of the two Gloucester Class 119 Cross-Country units, on a Reading-Gatwick Airport diagram, being in the Network South East Livery. The nearest unit L576 (51062-59421-51090) still retained its BR blue and grey livery, but with a NSE decal on the front. The parcels trolley and battery-powered prime mover (with a flat tyre!) is also of interest, signifying that handling of mail and parcels traffic was still an everyday occurrence at Guildford, indeed right through until the mid-1990s. Gordon Edgar.
February 1989
51090
Class 119 DMU L576 (presumably 51090 + 59421 + 51062) at Betchworth working from Reading to Redhill in February 1989. That red 1982 Volvo 340 had a good innings, lasting until 2001. Kevin Lane.

June 1982
51063
At this time a strike meant that the few trains running on the Brighton Line were a bit of a mixed bag. This is seen as a 6-car Brighton to London Bridge train leaves Redhill in June 1982 with class 119 car 51063 on set L577 (presumably with 59422 + 51091). Ian Buck.
1st April 1984
51063
Occasionally the Reading Gatwick service was diverted via the West London and Brighton Main Line owing to trackworks. On 1st April 1984 Class 119 set L577 with car 51063 leading (presumably with 59422 + 51091) passes Coulsdon North. Ian Buck.
