Piccadilly Parcels. Not the sharpest of images by a long way, but a reasonably interesting one. One of the four LMR Gloucester Class 128 Motor Parcels Vans, M55990, trundles out of Manchester Piccadilly on 21st April 1979. It was withdrawn from service almost exactly three years later. Syd Young.
March 1971. Half a century ago I persuaded my dad to lend me his Practika camera and I took my first two railway photographs. I don't know the exact date, but I recall it was just before my twelfth birthday. I'd been a "spotter" for a few years and although I had an Instamatic camera, for some reason I hadn't pointed it at trains, apart from an attempt at capturing Flying Scotsman in 1968, an abject failure due to forgetting to wind on the film. On this visit to Botanic Gardens shed in Hull, I decided to give it a go. There are two pairs of green EE Type 2s (Class 20 in new money) along with a mixture of DMUs (Met-Camms and a Trans-Pennine DMC in blue/grey), all of which was regular fare for BG. The locos are stabled on what were once the running lines to Hull docks and the seaside resorts of Hornsea and Withernsea. These lines closed completely in 1965. Syd Young.
Class 104 TSL E59199 sits looks in Hull Botanic Gardens alongside Brush Type 4 1520 (later to become 47 421 and the first of the main production batch of Class 47s) during March 1971. Syd Young.
On one occasion 55993 led a 10 car summer service to Skegness and was of interest to local enthusiasts and station staff as 128's were not common at this location. The usual array of Tyseley suburban cars reportedly had the DPU added for a large party of disabled persons wheelchairs. On the day they didn't actually turn up or use it. The empty interior is seen here. The set number T003 suggests this was the summer of 1988 as it would be reallocated to Cambridge by the end of the year. Peter Skegness.
Bedford station on 12 October 1996. Class 117 2-car unit L707 (51335/51377) has arrived working the 14.50 from Bletchley while Class 319 184 has arrived on Platform 2 with a service from the south. 51335/51377 were built by Pressed Steel in 1960 and were originally in a 3-car set with trailer 59487. They were allocated to Bletchley depot at the date of my photo, and were withdrawn from that depot in May 1998. Both vehicles were scrapped by Sims Metals in Cardiff. 319 184 was one of the second batch of Class 319s, built in 1990. It was converted to a 319/3 (by the removal of 1st class accommodation) in the period 1997-1999 and, as such, is still in service with Northern Trains. Lewis Bevan.
A visit to Woburn Sands station on 23 April 1996, just in time to see 2 Class 121 single units, 55023/55031, depart with what I recorded as "the 14.00 to Bedford" (ie a Bletchley-Bedford train). Lewis Bevan.
Woburn Sands station on 23 April 1996. A 2-car Class 117 unit, L700 with coaches 51374/51332, calls with a Bedford-Bletchley service (recorded by me as "14.11 to Bletchley)". Lewis Bevan.
