4th July 1983
Luton on the evening of Monday 4th July 1983. The Conqueror and the (almost!) Conquered. The old faithful Class 127 on the left has worked in on the 17:45 from St Pancras, terminating at Luton. Alongside is the relatively new 317 313 on the 18:04 St Pancras – Bedford service. These EMUs didn’t get off to a very good start. As the first Driver Only Operated trains on British Rail, industrial relations delayed their introduction. Then, when they eventually did enter service, various teething troubles came to light. To address these issues some units were taken out of service for modifications and emergency timetable had to be put in place. This involved 313s from the Eastern Region working out of St Pancras, some services reverting to Class 45 haulage with BR Mk1 coaches and the Class 127s enjoying an extended life for a few months. Eventually the 317s settled down and gave very reliable service for a few years... and then someone dreamed up Thameslink. Brian McDevitt.
