29/5/72 - a wet bank holiday Monday at Windermere. The class 120 dmu strengthens a class 105 from Preston. The coaching stock was worked in by class 47 D1955 on an adex from Coventry. The station had 4 platforms which have now been reduced to one, although the roof remains as part of a supermarket development! Stephen Burdett.
Cross-Country DMUs at Shrewsbury on 5 June 1972. On the left is Cardiff allocated Swindon set C604 (W50701 nearest) on the 10.27 to Llanelli via the Central Wales line. Right is Chester allocated GRC&W set CR554 on the 09.43 to Wolverhampton, probably with 51104 visible. Tom Burnham.
The 18.50 from Matlock to Crewe on 23 June 1972 - comprising a 3-car Swindon Cross-Country dmu with the centre car in plain blue hauling a CCT van - pauses at Matlock Bath. Adrian Nicholls notes that in the 1972 section L WTT the CCT van spent all day at Matlock and only two trains on the branch were authorised to convey a trailing load. Outbound from Derby it was conveyed behind the DMU on 6P59 05.40 Derby to Matlock with one intermediate call at Ambergate for the single line token at 05.56 and arrival into Matlock at 06.08. A footnote says parcel traffic but probably newspapers as well. The DMU must have run beyond the station into the old goods yard to drop the van before returning back to the platform to form 2P59 06.37 to Derby calling all stations. The return working (photographed) was also 2P59, the 18.52 ex Matlock, terminating at Derby. Tom Burnham.

The 08:45 (SX) from Taunton is seen at Weston-Super-Mare on 7 August 1972, formed of a Cross-Country DMU. Closest is Class 120 DMBC W51581 - it is not running with its usual partners from set B560 as the other two vehicles are Class 119s, identifiable by the greater number of roof vents. Robert Thomas.

I believe this pair to be 51578 and 51587 minus their regular centre trailer car. They are seen having just crossed the roadbridge over the former A30 between Roche and St. Columb Major and are working the 11.38 from Par to Newquay (NB this is a Sunday). Anthony Williams.
