Two Swindon Cross-Country Class 120 DMUs at the north end of the old St Devereux station on 6 April 1974, probably on a Crewe-Cardiff service. The centre car still has an active buffet, with 'Buffet' on the bodyside and red stripe. George Woods.
A class 120 dmu departing Inverness for Aberdeen on 08-04-1974. An everyday sight from 1960 to 1980, seven 3 car class 120 sets were based at Inverness for the direct service to Aberdeen. Also seen on the branches of the old Great North of Scotland Railway in Aberdeenshire and Banffshire until Dr. Beeching put a stop to that. Gordon Thomson.
The RCTS 'Devon Rambler' tour at Heathfield station on 20 April 1974. It was formed of Class 120 DMU set B559, 51589 is closest, presumably with 59586 and 51580. Stuart Mackay Collection.

Picture quality isn't very good but this has rarity value. It's the first and only time I ever saw a Swindon cross country DMU (power cars 50737 + 50667, seems to be EP585) at Reading which according to the destination blind was on a special, as expected (possibly a 'Explore Britain' adex). Also the discarded GWR ATC ramp between the down main and the through line and the up main and through line. At this time there were very few of them left as they were being replaced by the standard BR AWS, a brand new one can be seen on the through line. 23rd April 1974. 54A South Dock.

15/5/74 at Par. A class 120 dmu shortened to a 2 car unit waits for its next turn on the Newquay branch. Set P554 is presumably formed of 51575 + 51584. Stephen Burdett.
P554 (presumably 51575 + 51584) heads for Penzance at St Austell on 16/5/74. The parcels office seems to be generating good business. The attractive GWR buildings have been replaced by a modern structure. Stephen Burdett.
