26th February 1977

The cleared semaphore Starter signal indicates that the road is set for an outer suburban dmu train as it proceeds southwards to St Pancras from Cricklewood's neat Midland station on 26th February 1977. Today the line is electrified - the dmus are replaced by emus and the semaphores are replaced by colour lights. The station buildings are long gone, replaced by bus shelter type waiting rooms.

A Class 127 heads across the River Brent viaduct at Cricklewood en route to St Pancras on 27th February 1977. It is about to go under the North Circular Road bridge. This is a telephoto shot from the pedestrian steps up to the North Circular and the foreshortening belies the fact that the viaduct here carries 6 tracks. The concrete slabbing on the left is the M1 cutting wall. Pete LG99.

Cricklewood North London on 27th February 1977 and a dmu arrives from the north into the station with a St Pancras service on a sea of trackwork past a forest of semaphore signals (do forests grow in seas???). A rather different everyday scene from today's. Pete LG99.

27th February 1977

Cricklewood (London) on 27th February 1977. Semaphore signals & two Midland signal boxes - Brent 1 & 2 - frame a 4-car St Pancras to Bedford dmu. The main gantry held 8 posts but the right-hand four are now armless. In the right background is Cricklewood shed. Pete LG99.

27th February 1977

The Midland Main Line out of St Pancras remained semaphore signalled in the 1970s. Here a blue-liveried Class 127 dmu is heading north through Cricklewood in north London past clear signals on 27th February 1977. Pete LG99.

26th June 1977

The beautiful old 1859 Midland Railway station seen here was demolished to make way for a modern station 200 yards away in 1978 when the line was electrified from Bedford to St Pancras (the BedPan line). This was taken on the morning of Sunday 26th June 1977 and the dmu seemed to be stabled in the platform rather than on a London service or perhaps just waiting for the first train of the day. Pete LG99.

26th June 1977

Bedford Midland station, Bedfordshire, 26th June 1977. The beautiful old 1859 Midland Railway station seen here was demolished to make way for a modern station 200yards away in 1978 when the line was electrified from Bedford to St Pancras (The BedPan line). The station was actually built when the Midland Railway reached London via the their line to the Great Northern Railway at Hitchin and onwards to Kings Cross. After problems with the GNR the MR opened its own line to the capital in 1868. This was taken on a Sunday morning and the dmu seemed to be stabled in the platform rather than on a London service or perhaps just waiting for the first train of the day. Pete LG99.
