Swindon Inter-City Class 123 DMU set L707 in Reading General station on 23 May 1975. Bob Gregory.
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.
An Inter-City Swindon-built DMU at Southall. There are three cabs in the formation facing forward, it contains a three-car (L708), a single power car, and another three-car. A suburban set can be seen in the distance on the left. Date unknown, probably early 1970s. Stuart Mackay Collection.
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.

Swindon Inter-City unit L710 is seen in Paddington awaiting departure with the 14.15 to Oxford on 22 April 1972. Tom Burnham.
At dusk on the 5th December 1974 three Class 123 sets are seen in Maidenhead station. The closet set L710 as a 4-car, the front two sets appear to be 3-car sets. 54A South Dock.
Two Class 123 DMUs, L710 and presumably W52090 closest, entering Paddington on 17 June 1975. Phil Bevan.
Swindon Inter-City set L710 is seen at Tyseley on August 21st, 1975. The leading car - presumably 52100 - carries the headcode 1Z15. Michael Mensing.
Class 123 DMU set L711, formation, three-car set L711 and another, at Oxford, circa early 1970s. Stuart Mackay Collection.
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.
A Class 123 (set L711, presumably 52091) in the yard at Hereford in 1976 after a failure. John Crooks.
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.
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.
52091 waits to depart Hull Paragon on 6th August 1977 for Sheffield or Manchester (Via Sheffield) on 6th August 1977, and still had the original gangway covers on. David Scott.
