Class 126 Waterside 'Ayrshire Wanderer' 9 Oct 1982. This tour was organised by the Swindon Preservation Society and used the same name as the previous year's BLS tour doing exactly what it said on the headboard. The class also remained in service for a bit longer than planned after the tour which had meant to see them being withdrawn from service the following day. Here we see the train at Benbane on the Waterside branch. The vehicles were 51036/59411/51017 + 51026/59404/51043. Alistair Ness.
