Class 127 Derby built DMUs at St Pancras with 51612 on the left, 27 December 1982. On Tour With the Class 13 Army.
This Class 127 (51612 + 59590 + 51596) in Cricklewood station in the summer of 1983 had been given a thorough clean, service and the paintwork touched up at Cricklewood depot. Apparently either the Greek Railways or a private line in Greece needed some new passenger trains at the time these were due to be withdrawn. The set then made a number of trial runs with various Greek officials onboard. Sadly nothing came of the affair. Note the white gutter the length of the train. Arno Brooks.
Life After Death. Class 127 DMBS M51612 stored at Carlisle Kingmoor Marshalling Yard. The relatively small size of the Guards Van is noticeable on these high density suburban vehicles. Displaced by the Bed-Pan electrification scheme, some found further work as Diesel Parcel Units, including this vehicle according to Railcar. Saturday 09 June 1984. alicia hartman.

I photographed this Diesel Parcels Unit, carrying the set number 911, at Northampton in October 1986. The set is made up of vehicles 55981/55971, converted from Class 127 cars 51612/51597. Both vehicles had been new in August 1959 and were converted to DPUs in May 1985. The unit was withdrawn from service in May 1989 and both vehicles were scrapped by Mayer Newman at Snailwell.

M51615, looking very smart, leads a Class 127 DMU on the up slow at Harper Lane on 9 September 1979. The photographer is a retired signalling engineer, his duties allowed him this vantage point. Nicholas T Smith.

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 Withdrawn from Cricklewood on 7th August 1983, it was converted to a Parcels vehicle and renumbered to 55975 from May 1985 and allocated to Longsight.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.
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.
An assortment of parcels DMUs converted from former "Bed-Pan" hydraulic class 127 units stand forlornly withdrawn in Crewe Basford Hall yard on 21/Jul/1990, with 55975 (formerly 51615) nearest. Three vehicles from these parcels conversions were subsequently preserved. Behind 55975 can just be seen departmental coach ADB977191, formerly class 100 56106, which was later moved for storage at Crewe Brook Sidings and ultimately disposed of at Crewe Works in 2000. Robert Chilton.
M51616 leads the 7.40pm Bedford Midland Road - St Pancras service seen north of Harlington on Sunday 20 June 1965. The rear car seems to be of a different type, possibly one of the Cravens (Class 113) vehicles it had at the time. Michael Mensing.
Pair of class 127 4-car units await custom at St.Pancras early morning Sunday 5th June 1983. M51616 is on the left, note the blue/grey liveried TSL in the set, several trailers were soon to be transferred for use elsewhere (hence the relivery) when the class ceased operations on the 'BedPan' line. DMBS M51650 leads the unit on the right. Iain Reid.
