A Swindon Cross-Country set at Truro, the destination blind shows it is on Falmouth workings. Date is circa 1971. Stuart Rankin.
Mystery pic! Circa 1973. I have no memory of taking this, or where it is, and the young lady posing at the front is nothing to do with me... All I can say is that it features a Class 120 set C501, wearing a 6000 Locomotive Association headboard, and was obviously taken in failing light... I travelled on 6000 LA DMU tours to Diss (for Bressingham) and Folkestone (for the RHDR), but don't recall any others. Thanks to Kenneth Leiper the station has now been identified as North Camp on the Reading to Guildford line, looking south. John Crooks.

A Swindon 3-car Cross Country unit departs for Inverness from Aberdeen during the demolition of the platform canopies and north footbridge in February 1973. John McIntyre.
Two 3-car units arrive at Aberdeen with the 8:40am from Inverness but are unusually having to use Platform 8 due to a special for Kyle of Lochalsh waiting to depart north in Platform 6. The pillars that once supported the canopies still stand but not for much longer. There is a sprinkling of snow on the ground on 17 February 1973. John McIntyre.
A rainy day in Aberdeen. A train for Inverness waits in Platform 6, platforms 10 & 11 can be seen on the right without track. Believed to be taken in spring 1973. The van door is open, showing the box for the tablet catcher. John McIntyre.
Believed to be taken in spring 1973 because the platform canopies have been removed from this end of the station and building work has not yet started, set 300 waits in platform 6 to depart for Inverness. John McIntyre.

0940 Crewe to Cardiff at Ludlow in mid 1973. Buffet car in use on this service and its identification can just be seen in large white letters on the trailer. I am not sure if these buffets were decommissioned in the early 60s then re commisioned when the 120s took over from Loco Hauled services on this route in about 1970 or if they were continuously in use as buffets from when built. Andrew Cope.
Swindon Cross-Country DMU set C526 is seen with the 10:20 (SO) Swansea-Cardiff Central service at Bridgend on 9 June 1973. Robert Thomas.
