Etches Park Class 120 set EP497 (M50676 + M59267 + M50696) with Leicester on the destination blind, wrong line working at Hinkley on Sunday 22 March 1970. Phillip Malin.
Etches Park Class 120 DMU set EP502 at Lincoln Central. Thought be be taken on 27 November 1982, the last day of the line between March and Spalding and the Lincoln avoiding line. Special is on the destination blind so this could be a railtour but no details can be found, other images taken out the window show the train passing Greetwell Junction, Boultham Junction, and between Boutham Junction and West Holmes. If anyone has any clues about what the train was please leave a comment! Roger Geach Collection.

A Class 120 hybrid set drifts through the West Lancashire countryside at Cocker Bar between Midge Hall and Ulnes Walton with the 17.55 Preston to Ormskirk service on June 25th 1985. The former Derby Etches Park set EP503 was formed of two Class 120 Swindon built driving cars and a Class 101 centre trailer car. This particular out and back service on the Ormskirk line was regularly diagrammed for a Class 120 during this period. The sets were normally used on Manchester to Blackpool North services. Martyn Hilbert.
A hybrid Swindon Cross-Country 3-Car DMU set (Formerly Derby Etches Park Depot set EP503) with W51573 leading, departs from Kirkham with Manchester Victoria to Blackpool South tea-time through service on August 2nd 1985. Sandwiched between the two Class 120 driving cars was a Metro-Cammell Class 101 trailer car. This viewpoint including the semaphore signal has now gone, a six-foot palisade fence now segregates the running lines from the cobbled road to the former goods yard. Martyn Hilbert.

For the 1985 Summer timetable an 06.37 Saturdays Only Stratford-upon-Avon to London Paddington train was introduced. Contrary to a rumour started by one of the station staff at Stratford this was not a class 50-hauled train to match the weekdays Paddington to Birmingham express which ran via Hatton but a DMU formed on most occasions of a pair of 3 coach Tyseley class 166 units. On 25 May 1985 I saw the ECS arriving from my then home's kitchen window and went to the station to capture this view of a pair of Derby-based class 120s led by EP510 (probably 50713 + 59257 + 50667) in platform 2 with 55012 heading a 3 coach class 116 in P3. It was common practice at the time for Tyseley to use whatever resources they had available but this was the only time that I saw anything but class 116 units on this train. Peter Tandy.
