Class 123 DMU set L714 on the rear of set L715 arriving into Paddington on a service from Henley on Thames in December 1975. Hugh Llewelyn.
1976
Set: L711
Inter-City DMU set L711 (presumably 52091 closest) is seen in Hereford yard in 1976 after a failure. These sets appeared to be on their last legs, so I was surprised when they were sent North to join the Trans-Pennine units. John Crooks.
1976
Set: L711
A Class 123 (set L711, presumably 52091) in the yard at Hereford in 1976 after a failure. John Crooks.
1976
The "Inter-city" DMUs had a short tenure on the Cardiff - Crewe line. By the time they were re-allocated to Cardiff they were on their last legs, and loco-hauled substitutions became common - one such set of coaches being formed from the centre cars from these sets. Here, one is dumped in Hereford yard, presumably after a failure. It looks like the Stirling - Newton Abbot Motorail is passing...! John Crooks.
January 1976
Set: L713
Class 123 DMU set L713 in Paddington with an Oxford service - with a lot of parcels being loaded into the guards' compartment - in January 1976. Hugh Llewelyn.
circa 1976
Set: L707
A wet day at Hereford circa 1976 with a Crewe - Cardiff train formed of two Swindon "Inter City" units, set L707 would be allocated to Cardiff by this time, despite the L-series set number. John Crooks.
circa March 1976
Set: L708
A London Midland Region publicity image (negative D3410/4) showing a Swindon Inter-City DMU in Whitchurch station circa May 1976 - the month they began on Cardiff-Crewe services. There are two sets, L708 being a three-car. British Rail.
12th March 1976
Set: L711
1976 was famous for the amazing Summer but March was a bit grim as seen on the 12th at Cardiff. L711 is arriving (presumably 52091 at the front), in the set was 59823 and completed the set for me! Remember when they kept dmu's together? The loco, by deduction, is probably 47504. It doesn't really matter at this distance in time. It's Cardiff and it's 42 years ago! Arnie Furniss.
August 1976
Set: L711
A class 37 is collecting a failed Class 123 unit (thought to be L711 / 52091) from the wall siding at Hereford in August 1976. These units seemed to be on their last legs, and I was surprised when they went to the Eastern Region, rather than the scrapyard...! John Crooks.
31st August 1976
47 088 at Crewe on the 16.00 to Cardiff on 31st August 1976 formed of DMU trailers headed by Class 123 trailer second W59238. Robert Thomas.
