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.

15th August 1983

Displaced from the London Division of the Midland Main Line by Class 317 EMUs upon completion of the BedPan electrification in 1982 (Although to be fair an ASLEF dispute over OMO delayed their demise for a while longer ... ) some Class 127 DMUs were reduced to a 3 car formation and used on the newly introduced Gospel Oak to Barking service. Here, with M51645 leading, the 1015 Gospel Oak to Barking service slows for the station stop at Upper Holloway as it passes the signal box on 15th August 1983. Nigel Mack.
