All change at London St Pancras on April 12th 1980. A service from Bedford has arrived formed of two, 4-Car Class 127 'Red Triangle' DMU sets with Driving Motor Brake Second M51636 bringing up the rear complete with an oil tail lamp. St Pancras was undergoing a major upheaval in readiness for the forthcoming Bed-Pan Electrification Scheme which would see the end of the 1959 Derby built Diesel Hydraulic DMUs in favour of new Class 317 EMUs.

February 1981
The carriage sidings at Bedford Midland photographed in February 1981, full of Class 127 dmus awaiting their next duties. The "new" Bedford Midland station can be seen in the distance, with another Class 127 reversing before returning on a service to St Pancras. These sidings were swept away to make space for the extended car park at Bedford, and the Class 127s were all replaced when the line was electrified by Class 319 emus. Lewis Bevan.

8th May 1981
51606 sits at London St. Pancras waiting to depart with another service to Bedford on 8/May/1981.
