A Class 120 DMU carrying set number EP510, presumably 50667/53667 closest, approaches South Wigston station at Glen Parva Junction in Leicester circa 1985. Stuart Mackay Collection.
Between 1982 and 1984 I spent many happy hours with my friends chasing around the North of England after the remaining Class 40s. In between times, we did of course go bashing other quality classes, and the pairs of Class 20s that used to be employed on Summer Saturday workings from the Midlands to Skegness were always a riot! Seen here, on Platform 3 at Nottingham Midland station on Sunday 31st July 1983, is a vintage Swindon built Class 120 3-car DMU [Derby Etches Park based set EP510] - as we awaited our first Class 20 move of the day. DMSL 53667 is closest, the Met-Camm centre car and 120 DMBCL on the rear are presumably 59524 + 53713. Chris McKee.
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.

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 W50668 is nearest the camera at the site of Trethomas station, but I have no record of the number of the class 08. Jeremy Chapter.

This pair of class 120 Swindon Cross Country diesel vehicles were fitted with headlights for working the Central Wales Line (now known as the Heart of Wales line) between Shrewsbury and Llanelli which operates under a light railway order to reduce infrastructure requirements. The lights are necessary for ungated level crossings which are crossed on a stop and proceed basis. Motor Second 50672 is nearest the camera; the other car is Motor Brake Composite 50722. Both were new in 1958 and withdrawn in 1987. Seen at Shrewsbury on 11 October 1980. Jeremy Chapter.
