A Class 120/108 four-car DMU working a Preston to Colne service, was climbing Farington Curve on October 12th 1985. The train was formed of a two-car Swindon Cross-Country Class 120, with Driving Motor Brake Second (DMBS) M51577 leading, coupled to M51586, with a two-car Class 108 bringing up the rear. Buildings in Preston town centre are visible on the skyline, including the 309ft spire of St Walburges Church, visible above the rear car of the train. The wooden post and rail fence visible on the left centre of this scene, marks the course of the Preston - Ormskirk route running in a cutting. Martyn Hilbert.
A two-car Class 101/108 DMU with Driving Trailer Second Lavatory (DTSL) M54052 leading, presumably with 51910, was accelerating away from the single line token exchange at Midge Hall, whilst working a Preston to Ormskirk service on September 29th 1985. The home signal on the Down Line, controlled from the 'box at Midge Hall, is the only semaphore still extant in the Preston area. Martyn Hilbert.
In blue/grey livery, Cravens Class 105 Driving Motor Brake Second (DMBS) SC51481, was passing through North Queensferry with a six-car mixed rake of DMU cars, bound for Edinburgh on July 23rd 1981. The Cravens is formed into Haymarket set 105376, the other vehicles being Metro-Cammell Class 101 cars. Presumably, the Cravens had been finished in blue/grey to match the rest of the three-car set. SC51481 spent its entire working life in Scotland, it was one of a batch of twenty-two x 2 car Power/Trailer sets supplied new in 1959. It would eventually be withdrawn from service in November 1981 and was scrapped by Mayer Newman at Snailwell, Cambridgeshire in 1982. Martyn Hilbert.
On Tuesday 28th June 1960 the six-car Swindon Inter-City set working the 7.52pm Girvan to Glasgow service failed after departing Girvan. It would be propelled, at some points reaching 40mph, by steam loco 45086 (behind the tree) working the "Lothian Piper" fitted freight (just two vans and a brake). It is seen on the approach to Ayr where it arrived one hour late. At Ayr the fault seems to have righted itself and the DMU would run under its own power as the 9.30pm Ayr to Glasgow. Bill Hamilton.
The 11.0pm Glasgow - Ayr service (formed 51022 + 59392 + 51032) was involved in a sidelong collision with Clan 72001 'Clan Cameron' when departing from St Enoch. DMS 51022 is seen after the incident, it would be returned to traffic after repair. Unknown Newspaper.
