Glasgow Central circa 10-1986. 318252 is brand new in service on the Ayrline, taking over from the old guard DMU. C616 was one of the Class 120 sets transferred from Cardiff Canton to Ayr to cover ScR DMU shortages in the mid 1980s. Andrew McConnell.
Chester MPD with a Class 120 in Parcels use, a Class 116, a Class 108 and new Class 142 on shed October-November 1986. The closest parcel vehicle was originally one of the ScR DMBF conversions. Of the three that entered parcel use only one had the number under the second window (the others were closer to the BR arrows) making this 51783. On Tour With the Class 13 Army.
Chester depot, circa October-November 1986, contains (l-r) a 116, 108, 142, parcel 120s and a 108. The closest parcel vehicle has no marker light above the destination blind so it is a batch three vehicle, of which only M51573 had oval buffers and an EP set number in parcel use.

A class 120 3 car dmu working 2J52 12.30 (Suns) Dundee to Edinburgh makes it's way up the grade to Lochmuir in central Fife on 12th October 1986. A hotchpotch of multiple unit types had replaced the loco hauled services for the 1986/87 timetable with inevitable results. Their replacement by class 150 units must have viewed as a step forward by the long suffering passengers but still hardly compared to the loco hauled service provided the previous year. At least, thats my view... In the background lies the village of Freuchie, at the south western corner of the fertile Howe of Fife. Beyond it lie the villages of Newton of Falkland and Falkland itself. The former station (out of shot to the left) lay some distance from it's intended destination. Ryanair would approve. Bruce Galloway.
