August 1987
Set: 533
From Swindon to Burntisland. Swindon built DMUs were a rarity in Fife, save for the occasional 1960s fill-in turn by an Edinburgh-Glasgow Inter City class 126 set. But in the late 80s several Cross Country class 120s were drafted north having been displaced by Sprinters elsewhere, and this led to their appearance during the "anything goes" period before new sets were introduced. Here set 533 (53682 closest) approaches Burntisland station on an Edinburgh to Kirkcaldy stopping service in August 1987. Murray Liston.

Kinking to Kinghorn. A Swindon Class 120 DMU (53658) enters Kinghorn Tunnel in August 1987 with an Edinburgh to Kirkcaldy stopping service. This tunnel was built by different contractors starting at each end and some miscalculation resulted in a distinct kink in the middle, very visible in the good old days from the front of a DMU and still causing a speed restriction. Murray Liston.

Pottering past Pettycur A Swindon Cross Country Class 120 DMU heads downhill past Pettycur bay between Kinghorn and Burntisland with a Kirkcaldy to Edinburgh stopping service in August 1987. Murray Liston.

Weird sight at Wester Hailes. The suburb of Wester Hailes grew rapidly in the 1970s but despite straddling the Edinburgh to Glasgow Central and Carstairs route, the locals were not provided with a station until May 1987. Three months after opening, we see the strange sight of a Swindon Cross Country class 120 DMU (53733 and presumably 59262 + 53654) stopping here on an Edinburgh to Glasgow Central via Shotts service. This was during the "anything goes" period where worn out DMUs displaced from Sprinterisation elsewhere were moved around the country and Scotrail got a few of these sets to tide them over during the latter half of the 1980s. Murray Liston.
