circa 1981
Pictured passing Cambridge Street stabling point, outside St Pancras, is a class 127 DMU. This would date to the early 1980s, the headcode suggests the leading vehicle is M51634. Curly42.
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.

Four-car Class 127 lead by 51599 followed by 59632, 59606 and 51591 on the bank behind Scratchwood Services on the M1, on 12 April 1981. Robert Chilton.
8th May 1981
51606 sits at London St. Pancras waiting to depart with another service to Bedford on 8/May/1981. It would appear that the driver's windscreen has been replaced with a spare/reclaimed one from the second man's side at some point, unless an overhead warning flash has been placed somewhat unusually on the driver's side. 51606 was later reborn as one of the parcels conversions; 55969 (originally 55989 but renumbered on account of duplicating a class 128 running number). Robert Chilton.

circa 1982
A class 127 DMU, with car M51642 nearest the camera, stands at St Pancras station. I would date this to around 1982,as the wires are in place for the new class 317 service,which was delayed for a while due to a BR/ASLEF dispute. Curly42.

August 1982
A BR (Derby) Class 127 4-car suburban dmu in Rail Blue with all-yellow front ends leaving St Pancras on a Bedford service on a very wet day in August, 1982. These dmu's should have been replaced by then new Class 316 emu's by that time but an industrial dispute over 1-man operation delayed their introduction. Hugh Llewelyn.

7th September 1982
Having not long arrived with an afternoon service from St Albans, a CW allocated 4 Car Class 127 Diesel Hydraulic DMU set, sits in Platform 7 at St Pancras awaiting its next duty, with a rather unusual paint job on the leading vehicle M51615 (Which seems to have been applied for an unknown reason around Sept 1979) .... Withdrawn from Cricklewood on 7th August 1983, it was converted to a Parcels vehicle and renumbered to 55975 from May 1985 and allocated to Longsight. Final withdrawal came four years later and it was scrapped by Vic Berry's at Leicester .... 7th September 1982. Nigel Mack.
circa late 1982
A Class 127 DMU on a St Pancras to Bedford working passes the sidings at Cambridge Street. The white dome/gutter and dent on the cab corner identify the closest vehicle as M51615. Undated, the blue/grey centre car means it's no earlier than October 1982. Curly42.
