Newly outshopped in refurbished white with blue stripe livery from Swindon Works, Pressed Steel built Class 121 single unit W55034 (L134) and Driving Trailer Second W56283 were awaiting a return to service in the sidings on the North side of Swindon station on May 19th 1979. The 121 would eventually be part of the Chiltern Railways fleet and was withdrawn from service in May 2017. Previously between 1992 & 1996 the unit had been in departmental use and renumbered to 977828. The unit has since returned to main line use with LSL at Crewe. Martyn Hilbert.

Branch Line Special! Back in the 1980s, the Great Western Railway Preservation Group (GWRPG), which was based in the old Otto Monsted margarine factory next to Southall station, would run shuttles on the freight-only Brentford branch on Bank Holidays. On one such day, Easter Day in 1984 (April 22), I took the opportunity to ride down this rare freight branch in one of the classic and versatile Class 121 'Bubble Cars' W55034. The unit is seen here after arrival at Brentford Waste Transfer station, which was located a little way up the line from the original terminus at Brentford Dock, on the River Thames. A rare branch line for track bashers! Note the impressive headboard which was used whenever there was a day of Brentford Branch specials. Chris McKee.
