Class 121 55034, set number T134, is seen approaching Nuneaton with a service from Stafford on 29.08.1989. Andy Cole.
A bubble in a very different environment with L130, class 121 single car 55030, approaching Acton with a London Paddington to Greenford train in the late afternoon of 19 September 1989. The building work would soon obscure the view of the bridge over the North London Line and much of the capital's infrastructure. Peter Tandy.
L124 (55024) leads Met-Camm set L202 (presumably 51225 + 54372) into Southall in late 1989. Stuart Mackay Collection.

Fallen down bubble 55023 at Taplow near Maidenhead on 26/10/89. It had hit a bogie which had become detached from one of the derailed wagons while working a staff train. Martin Callaghan.
I believe that the Greenford branch was the last in the London area to use single car DMUs on a diagrammed basis. This picture shows 55020 (L120) taking the switch from the down relief line line to the branch at West Ealing on 29 November 1989. The diminutive vehicle looks a bit dwarfed by the large 1960s office block complete with huge communications dish. Peter Tandy.
On 30 November 1989 55022 is seen heading from Greenford to Paddington taken with a 135mm lens as it rounded the curve towards West Ealing station. This unit survived at least until 2014 as DB977873 used for Sandite operations. I'll wager that the Mk3 Ford Cortina alongside the boarded staff crossing in the background didn't last as long! Peter Tandy.
