1st of October 1966 was the last day of Services to Bude, as you can see some of the track was already looking neglected. The 16.45 to Halwill Junction is formed of two GRC&W vehicles, a DMBS ('bubble car') on the rear and closest a DTS which appears to be W56297. The KDH Archive.

GRC&W double-ender M55003 at Gloucester (Central). The early version of Rail Blue livery with the yellow panel and 3" numbers suggests late 1960s. Stuart Mackay Collection.
A Class 122, taken at 5pm one February evening at Bristol Temple Meads. The year supplied with the image was 1973, but given the livery it will be a few years earlier. The station signage on the right is in the post-1965 style (black rail alphabet text on white). For most of the late 1960s Bristol had just 55013 allocated, and the low position of the flash in the cab window matches other images of the vehicle from that period, so it is presumed to be that vehicle. It would move to Scotland in Spring 1968. Adrian Vaughan.

GRC&W DTC 56291 arrives into Motherwell station - no date, but the M predix should date it to soon after transfer from Tyseley to Hamilton in June 1968. Also in the formation is a GRC&W bubble, a three-car Derby Heavyweight (later Class 107) and possibly at least one more vehicle. Graham Clark.
GRC&W DTC M56291 and three GRC&W bubble cars at Rutherglen. Date unknown, but probably circa late 1968 after the DTC had been transferred from Tyseley to Hamilton. Graham Clark.

On a rainy day at Kilmarnock Class 122 55011 runs into the bay platform, probably on a service from (or to form a service to) Ayr. Already in the platform is 55000, still with a W prefix. There's no yellow on the cab side, so it's carrying blue livery with small yellow panel. Circa 1969. Stuart Rankin.

Class 122 55011 at Barassie, where the line from Kilmarnock joins the main Glasgow to Ayr line (thanks to "Mad Mac" for identifying the location). Circa 1969. Stuart Rankin.
Three Class 122 bubbles in three liveries in the bay platforms at Kilmarnock, circa 1969. At the time they were used on services to Ayr. 55011 is closest, the green unit on the left is 55013, behind is 55000 carrying blue livery with a small yellow panel. Stuart Rankin.

A class 122 single car waits to leave Stourbridge Town for Stourbridge Junction in 1969. This station was systematically vandalised over the years, with the canopy first to be removed. Then a new bus shelter and portakabin ticket office were erected where the running in board is. This enabled demolition of the remaining building. Since then the station has been relocated and a new transport interchange opened. The line used to be double here, with a nearby Signalbox controlling it and eventually they were converted to 2 single lines with the right hand one continuing down a fearsome gradient to a goods depot. Notoriety was gained during the 70s with the unit running through the stop blocks, the most serious being in 1977 when the front bogies dropped into Foster street. Fortunately it was Grand National Day and most of the good people of Stourbridge were backing their ggs! Stephen Burdett.
