A blurred image but added as the Class 120 seems to be carrying a set number in the cab window, Tyseley style, albeit a chalked version (maybe 400?). One of the "bandit" Class 101s is alongside. Taken at Shrewsbury on 15 February 1986. Jonathan Hazan.

Class 120 unit 51581 + 59587 + 51585 has arrived at Manchester Victoria from Blackpool North on 17th February 1986. The driver making his way along the platform rubs his hands, presumably not with glee at seeing a comfortable former Western Region-allocated Swindon Cross-Country three-car unit, but most likely from the bone-biting cold of the day. The two motor coaches from this unit were converted to a parcels set just three months later. Gordon Edgar.
One of the stylish and well-appointed Swindon Class 120 'Cross-Country' DMU's was stabled between duties in Croft Street Sidings at Preston on February 22nd 1986. The Newton Heath allocated three-car set was formed of cars M51575, M59581 & M51584 and had been transferred from the Western Region in 1982. Martyn Hilbert.
The western exit from Manchester Victoria was an excellent spot for photographing a large variety of traffic including several different classes of DMU. On 27 February 1986 a 3 coach class 120 was pictured on the start of its journey to Blackpool with the well-known background of some industrial buildings adding to the scene. Peter Tandy.

A very wet 22nd March 1986 in the depot yard at Shields, Glasgow. Recently transferred from Newton Heath and Derby respectively were Class 120 Swindon Cross Country DMCLs 53666 and 53647 respectively, both with engines removed. A third 120 vehicle is behind. Alongside Strathclyde PTE-liveried 303071 was 47578 of Eastfield depot. Taken during an organised visit, some party members visible to the right. Gordon Edgar.
The modified vehicles made ideal parcels vehicles in later life! 51786 is paired with Class 116 53051 heading for the Red Star Parcels depot at Manchester Victoria, 22/3/86. Paul Moxon.
