Alongside a full-looking car park and in a location that has changed dramatically over the passing years, a Gloucester Class 119 Cross Country three-car DMU formed of cars W51079, W59437 & W51107 was stood at Reading with a service from Gatwick Airport on May 19th 1981. A Southern Region Class 421 4-CIG EMU, 7352 is visible in the background. The 119's were based closely on the Swindon Class 120's, but built at the Gloucester Railway Carriage & Wagon Company in 1958 utilising a Derby style cab. There were 84 individual cars built, with the centre trailer coaches originally having a small buffet area. The last of the 119's were withdrawn in 1994. Martyn Hilbert.

Monday 2 May 1994 was a sunny Bank Holiday and trains between Birmingham and Stratford-upon-Avon included some first generation DMUs rather than class 150s to increase capacity. In the afternoon I went to Henley in Arden where, if on time, south and northbound services should cross. I was exceptionally lucky as L713 entered the station as another set (see below) was on its way to Birmingham. L713 was a mixed set which appeared to be a pair of power triples, having had a single power car added to a pair of power cars presumably to work to Sprinter timings, led by Network South East liveried L713. On the immediate right is Class 119 DMBC 51079. Peter Tandy.
Here we see a real mixed bag with two 119 cars nose to tail and a Class 116 at the far end. 51079 + 51107 + 53124 stand at the far end of Snow Hill Stn on a line which was shortly swapped over to the Midland Metro. It was probably the spare unit that day. 27th August 1994 Steve Robinson.
