The Monmouthshire Railway Society "Tintern Thunderbolt" rail tour on 8 April 1978 was planned to go to Markham Colliery, but owing to flooding was only able to go as far as Oakdale Colliery Sidings. The train was formed of a class 120 Cross Country set C507 (50721 + 59275 + 50668) coupled to a class 118 Bristol Suburban set (only just visible). Jeremy Chapter.
The Monmouthshire Railway Society ran their "Tintern Thunderbolt" railtour on 8 April 1978 using Cardiff-based Swindon cross-country set C507 and a Tyseley class 118 3-car set. Class 120 car W50721 is nearest the camera at the site of Trethomas station, but I have no record of the number of the class 08. Jeremy Chapter.

Class 120 + 108 near Paisley Gilmour Street Station, circa 1986. A class 108 leads a Swindon Cross Country out of Paisley on their journey towards the Ayrshire coast. This was the first time I saw a 108 in Scotland in modern times and its arrival (along with the Class 120s and other units) was one of the first visible signs of the start of the influx of DMUs from other regions to cover for the Class 107s during their temporary withdrawal with driving axle problems. The set number on the 120 appears to read 528, so the closest car should be 53722. Andrew McConnell.
