A Class 128 parcels car at Stratford-upon-Avon in 1965. The photographer notes "This area had just been transferred from the WR to the LMR & all the MUs had a green patch where the "W" had been replaced with a "M". Note the P2 set number in the cab window, meaning this is likely to be 55994. Malcolm Clements.

circa 1968
A fascinating picture of an unidentified Gloucester Class 128 (possibly W55991) carrying what appears to be non-standard blue livery with white cab roofs and seemingly without yellow warning panels, although the reality is the van has a yellow painted corridor connection. The DMPV is working with an unidentified green liveried Derby Class 116 DMBS (probably 50819 or 50862), the pair pulling a BR(SR) green liveried CCT at Twyford and thought to be heading east - c.1968. 53A Models of Hull Collection.
circa 1968
In this scene, taken by Peter Shoesmith, Gloucester RC&W Motor Parcels Van M55990 is standing in the bay Platform at Wolverhampton Station. A class 119 is arriving with a train for Shrewsbury and an 08 has a maroon BG in the parcels sidings. At this time Wolverhampton Station was dominated by the flour and provender mill, appropriately owned by J.N. Miller. The Mill closed in 1981 but flour Milling at the site ended in 1959. The mill suffered a fire in 2008 and was demolished. The transparency is on Dixon's finest Prinzcolor film and Peter unfortunately caught the sun full onto the DMU, I have managed to get some detail back in Photoshop but it still looks odd. Undated, the livery on the 119 suggests circa 1968 / 1969. Copyright Geoff Dowling & John Whitehouse; all rights reserved. Geoff Dowling and John Whitehouse Collection.
