Swindon 3-car "Intercity" Class 126 DMU 126418 (DMS SC51025 nearest camera) at Largs with a train for Glasgow Central - c.1979. 53A Models of Hull Collection.
Two three-car Swindon Inter-City units with 51025 closest at Stranraer Harbour having just arrived from Glasgow on 17th September 1981. David Scott.
A Swindon Inter-City at Beith North, just north of Glengarnock with Sc51025 leading, circa 1982. As the DMBS vehicle determines the unit number it was unusual for a Swindon DMS to carry it and Sc51025 unusually (and incorrectly in this period) carried 126418. It did however make the vehicle easy to identify even in blurry shots 30-odd years later... Andrew McConnell.
126 418 at Prestwick in 1982. One of the last few Intercity sets in its last summer of operation. Andrew McConnell.
A Class 126 formation in Ayr station, date unknown. DMBSL Sc51048 is closest. Paul Redmond.
With 126 418 at the rear (DMBS Sc51048 closest), two Class sets enter Ayr station circa 1982. Andrew McConnell.
One of the few Class 126 intermediate power cars to carry a set number, Sc51025 is seen in Glasgow Central station circa 1982. Andrew McConnell.
Unit 126 418 heads a 6 car set departing Platform 13 of Glasgow Central for Ayrshire in 1982. Andrew McConnell.
126418 in Glasgow Central, probably taken in 1982. Intermediate power car Sc51025 is closest, one of only a handful to carry the set number on the plated-over gangway, on most sets only the DMBS carried this detail. Ian MacDonald.
End of Days. Swindon Inter-City Sets stored at Ayr Townhead Yard. 126 418 is one of the few with the identity displayed on the DMSL (presumably Sc51025). The DMSL to the right looks suspiciously like preserved Sc51017 which may have been part of 126 408 at that time. Summer 1982. alicia hartman.
The Papal visit to Bellahouston Park in 1982 required the use of a large number of extra trains - as a result most of the then surviving Class 126 units were mobilised. Sc51026 is seen here in the (now former) carriage sidings at Smithy Lye on 01/06/82. As the DMBS vehicle determines the unit number, it was unusual for a Swindon DMS to carry a set number. Andrew McConnell.
Class 126 DMBS Sc51048 is receiving attention from fitters and pigeons alike. Ayr Shed, circa June 1982. Andrew McConnell.
A Class 126 DMU formation arrives into Glasgow Central led by DMBSL SC51049, date unknown. Paul Redmond.
The Way it Was. Swindon Inter-City 126 420 and classmate racing towards Hillington East station on the 15:15 Ayr to Glasgow Central service. The quadruple tracks were reduced to two tracks with electrification to Gourock and Wemyss Bay in 1967. Much of the electrification steelwork was founded in the formation vacated by the fast lines. At least there were still two through routes to the Ayrshire coast at that time, one via Paisley Canal and this via Paisley Gilmour Street. However, this scene has much changed and a third track (electrified) has been installed as part of capacity improvements between Shields Junction and Paisley. Alas, the Paisley Canal line is no longer a through route. Saturday 30 May 1981. alicia hartman.
A six-car Swindon Inter-City DMU arrives into the through platforms at Ayr station with a service from Glasgow Central. Date unknown - the set number dates it to after June 1966. It could be terminating here, or continuing to Girvan or Stranraer - the 1H45 headcode would probably identify which. Stuart Mackay Collection.
A Class 126 set unloads its passengers in Corkerhill station on April 2nd, 1967. Hamish Stevenson.
A Swindon Inter-City DMU stabled on an unknown depot, probably Ayr, circa mid-1960s. Stuart Mackay Collection.
Class 126 set 400 seen at Glasgow Central. Undated. Malcolm Clements.
