An image from the November 1959 British Railways London Midland Region staff magazine, captioned as "The inaugural train running into Bedford station". It shows two Derby quad sets (Class 127s), the closest with Special on the blind, tail lamp and driver. This was on 28 September 1959 and this first train would carry David Blee and other dignitaries after a ceremony in the station. The DMUs worked just eight off-peak services from then until the full implementation in January 1960. British Railways.
A Class 110 Birmingham RC&W 'Calder Valley' diesel multiple unit stabled between turns, engines running, on one of the through lines at Huddersfield in December 1982. I had just arrived from Sheffield Midland via the remains of the Great Central Woodhead route to Penistone on the Class 101 dmu in platform 4. Huddersfield's great station roof is still intact today but only the line on which this dmu is standing is in use. The platform roads on the far left has been lifted and the platform extended out. Built in 1847 the station is is very impressive. Pete LG99.
Leicester Midland, 25th May 1981. Another grey rainy day in the city. A Class 116 diesel multiple unit enters Leicester Midland from the north past Leicester North signal box and a forest of semaphore signals. This could be my train, the 08.00 train to Nuneaton. In 1981 The Leicester Gap was in full swing and multiple aspect colour light signals wouldn't replace the mechanical signals until 1986-7. In the right distance is Leicester depot with what look like mainly Class 25 diesels on shed. Pete LG99.
A shot from April 1971 when I attended a wedding in Edinburgh that gave me a chance to check out Waverley station. The sun shone both on the ceremony & on this Stirling-bound Class 101 diesel multiple unit passing the signal box at the east side of the station. It seems empty and so likely coming from Leith Central depot, the leading vehicles seems like it might be SC51807. Pete LG99.
A Class 120 and Class 101 in Birmingham New Street station in summer 1973. The Swindon has an Etches Park set number in the left cab window, possibly EP481. Pete LG99.
An April 1971 wedding in Edinburgh gave me a chance to check out Waverley station. The sun shone both on the ceremony & on this Class 100 diesel multiple unit passing the signal box at the east side of the station. From the banner signal above the coach it may be heading for platform 21. Pete LG99.
Sheffield, South Yorkshire, Winter approx 1980-81. A typical grey winter day and three first generation diesel multiple units (a 114 on the left, a 108 or 114 hiding behind the pillars in the middle and a Met-Camm on the right) grace the platforms of Sheffield Midland station. From the steam heating leaks the train in platform 6 is probably a Peak hauled train heading south. Pete LG99.
Birmingham University, West Midlands, 13th November 1976. A new station was opened to serve the university & Queen Elizabeth Hospital after I had left but on one of my many visits I captured a Class 119 diesel multiple unit train heading south (probably to Redditch) through the partially built platforms. The Worcester & Birmingham canal on the right parallels the railway out to Kings Norton. In the distance is the Pritchatts Road overbridge from where the previous telephoto shot was taken 3 months earlier. Today the route is electrified as part of the Cross-City Line. Pete LG99.
Selly Oak Station, Birmingham, Summer 1974. Built by the Midland Railway in 1876 Selly Oak station in the southern surburbs was unmanned & uncared for in 1974. Still served by these dmus from New Street to Redditch the NE-SW expresses hauled by Peaks swept through the station at speed. I had just arrived from King's Norton but not many others alighted. Not long afterwards in 1978 the whole historic lot was swept away & a modern brick & plastic replacement built. No doubt an improvement on the dereliction but not on the original which if renovated instead of demolished would have been very much better. Selly Oak station became part of the Cross City Line from Lichfield to Redditch & was electrified in 1993. The structure in the centre is the roof over the staircase which lead to the subway over to the Down platform. This has been replaced by a footbridge. Pete LG99.
Great Central Railway London Marylebone 31st December 1975. Only 9 years since closure of the through route & 6 since total closure north of Rugby the GCR's 1897 London Extension was nothing more than a commuter line from Marylebone to Aylesbury in 1975. Little had changed since the diesel multiple units had taken over including the semaphore signalling as a train departs northwards. The other unit is stabled in the Down sidings. It's not obvious but the turntable also survived behind that set. Pete LG99.

Class 117 DMU set L424 (presumably 51404 + 59514 + 51362) seen at the Cholsey and Moulsford stop of a Paddington service, likely from Oxford, on 16 July 1976. Stuart Mackay Collection.

No details were on this slide. It shows a two-car Class 108, M56502 closest, the slide process date was April 1980. The JN Miller building behind identifies it as Wolverhampton, and Wolverhampton High Level is on the destination blind. The vehicle was allocated to Chester at the time. Stuart Mackay Collection.
Norwich set 93 with the Fakenham & Dereham Railway Society Mid-Anglian Rambler railtour on 24 October 1981. Seen near the end of the Sizewell branch at Leiston from the level crossing over King George's Avenue. Stuart Mackay Collection.
