12th February 1988
Set: 124
Creating a haze of exhaust fumes a morning Paddington - Maidenhead stopping service gets away from the station stop at Taplow on the last leg of its journey, formed by one of RG depots famous temporary hybrid sets. This time a Class 121 'Bubble Car' has replaced Class 119 driving trailer W51083 in Set L573, giving a formation of W55024+W59417+W51055. I think it is fairly safe to assume that as W51083 was officially withdrawn in mid March its running days were already over when this picture was taken. 12th February 1988. Nigel Mack.

Set: T133
I was mildly surprised to see the "Midline Bubble" on the main line from Derby to Birmingham in May 1988 when it was photographed approaching Water Orton. Mechanical DMUs were not common on this line at the time with Sprinters having taken over most services. The destination board said that the unit was "Not in Service" but wasn't able to find out where it had been but assumed that it was going to Tyseley LMD. The relatively new M42 and part of the long-gone Hams Hall Power station can be seen in the background of this picture. Peter Tandy.
