This was from a dark half-frame slide with no details. It shows two Class 128s with vehicles in tow at Shrewsbury, probably in the early/mid-1970s. M55995 is closest, the second one is likely 93 or 94, these three vehicles being allocated to Chester from October 1973. Stuart Mackay Collection.
A GRC&W parcels car in Rail Blue livery and with "Parcels Service" on the side stands in the Up siding at the south end of Shrewsbury station in Spring 1974 alongside the Western lower quadrant junction signal. The right hand post is marginally higher suggesting that the joint GWR & LNWR line to Hereford is marginally more important than the GWR line to Wolverhampton. Pete LG99.

Class 128s at Chester station 22 March 1975. I have a choice of three from my log book that day. These should be two from M55993, M55994 or M55995. I also wish I'd composed the shot better and got the whole of the signals in. Oh well I can always go back another day... Update: closest vehicle now identified as M55995 and M55994. Alistair Ness.

Parcels car 55991 works one of its frequent journeys into Paddington passing Ealing Broadway on 20th August 1975. On the rear seems to be a 116, so the GUV will be one of the through wired ex-Railair vehicles. Ian Buck.
