Class 116 DMU set C333 (51135 and presumably 59445 + 51148) at Pentyrch Crossing with the 13:20 Penarth - Pontypridd service on 8 August 1986. Stuart Mackay Collection.

See from Marple Aqueduct, carrying the Peak Forest Canal, is a Blue Square Derby Lightweight DMU with yellow cab doors on the closest vehicle. The slide process date was April 1968. Stuart Mackay Collection.
No details came with this slide, showing a two-car Class 101 DMU. Carlisle is on the destination blind, and with the Tyne & Metro logo on the newly refurbished DMBS this is likely a Newcastle - Carlisle service, circa 1978. Stuart Mackay Collection.
Class 121 single car W55033 in Bridport station, thought to be in 1975 - the last year of this service to Maiden Newton. Stuart Mackay Collection.

EP503, and presumably 51582, on the rear of a returning Skegness - Manchester working seen at Saxondale sometime in 1985. The formation is formed of a Class 114 and two Class 120s. The image was from the John Hitchens Collection. Stuart Mackay Collection.
The photograph is taken from under the Camp Hill line looking towards Pershore Road bridge in Birmingham. The DMU is on what is now a road and it has just come under the bridge, to the right of it are the neglected sidings of Lifford canal branch wharf. This was taken on the occasion of a Birmingham University Railway and Inland Waterways Society special on 17th March 1962 by Peter Shoesmith. The Six Bells Junction website lists the vehicles as 50884 + 59339 + 50831. Geoff Dowling and John Whitehouse Collection.
The icy morning at Bow Brickhill station has brought the need to apply copious amounts of salt to the platforms. This was 14th February 1981 which dawned crystal clear and sunny, catching those rays a class 105 comprising 56120 & 50393 head towards Bletchley with the 13.00 service from Bedford. Geoff Dowling.
This is Old Hill High Street station after B.R. had refurbished it. The train is a Gloucester single car DMU, presumably W55009, unit and it is working to Dudley according to the blind. This was the second station on the line after Old Hill, these were Darby End, Windmill End and Baptist End. The Dudley to Old Hill line closed 15/06/1964, Peter Shoesmith took this view on 14/09/1962. Geoff Dowling and John Whitehouse Collection.
The signalman at Fiskerton has already begun to open the crossing gates to road traffic. The train that has just departed Fiskerton Station is the 11.23 Lincoln - Nottingham service composed of the usual Class 120 unit, the trailing car is 53729 a Swindon DMBC. 17/08/1985. Geoff Dowling.
Standing, awaiting departure from Birmingham Snow Hill for Paddington from platform 7 at 13.00, is one of the Nanking blue and white Pullman sets. Peter did not date the shot but it was packed with other negatives in an envelope marked "March 1963" At platform 6 is a recently arrived Swindon Cross-Country dmu that will have travelled from Cardiff via Cheltenham and the North Warwickshire line. Image taken by Peter Shoesmith. Geoff Dowling and John Whitehouse Collection.
An ecs move in Lincoln on 20/07/1985 saw the crossing gates across High Street close causing the usual hold-up. The train was lead by Class 114 54036. A Class 105 can also be seen. The station at Lincoln Central is a monument to Victorian Tudor, it was built in 1848 for the Great Northern Railway and is a Grade II listed building. Geoff Dowling.
A young lad looks into the future at West Bromwich in 1953. He is witnessing the departure of a BTU Park Royal bodied unit that utilised AEC bus engines, it had been withdrawn by 1959. At this time they were numbered simply 1, 2 and 3, when taken into BR stock they were given the numbers M79740, M79741 and M79742. West Bromwich Station was a substantial structure with a platform signal box and a fine cast iron canopy. The station even boasted a 1st class waiting room (far right) not too sure how much use that got.. This view is looking towards Wolverhampton, the bridge is Lyng Lane. Today the Midland Metro passes here with a service in both directions every 10 minutes. Image taken by Peter Shoesmith. Geoff Dowling and John Whitehouse Collection.
Standing under the roof at Huddersfield station is Metro-Cammell DMBS 51425 (class 101) which will form the 13.15 Huddersfield - Wakefield service. I cannot now recall why we were at Huddersfield on 20th May 1980, I suspect that, as the weather looks "challenging", we had a ride round on the train. This is one of the occasions when I wish we had taken more pictures because the old station looks an interesting place. Geoff Dowling.
Unfortunately this unhurried scene at Cheltenham Landsdown Road is undated but that in no way lessens the charm. The platform signal box has the windows open, so the sound of block bells and levers being pulled would be very audible. A green livery GRC&W Cross-Country dmu with small yellow warning panel is drawn up at platform 2. The date could be around 1964. Image taken by Peter Shoesmith. Geoff Dowling and John Whitehouse Collection.
With a cloud of exhaust a class 101 dmu leaves Smethwick Rolfe Street behind as it departs for Wolverhampton High Level. The station has changed considerably since the 18th September 1964 when Peter Shoesmith took this photograph, the canopy, footbridge and up side buildings have gone, a casualty of electrification. Sad though it is to loose the footbridge at least some light falls on the drab platforms now. The station is built in a difficult position on a tight curve and close to Rolfe Street bridge, the rail cant means a big step out of trains on the down side. The station was built in 1852 and is now the first station on the line north from Birmingham New Street. Geoff Dowling and John Whitehouse Collection.
Two Cross-Country DMUs, at least the closest is Swindon built, towing a van departing from The Hawthorns. The single blue vehicle dates it to circa 1966. Image taken by Harry Hodgkinson. Stuart Mackay Collection.
A Gloucester parcel car, probably on Newton Heath depot circa late 1966 or 1967. It is in an early version of the Rail Blue livery, with red buffers beams, BR logos on the cab doors, and three inch numbers - always hard to read in photos - but this seems to be M59988. Also of note are the yellow exhausts, blue solebar, and the short-lived use of brown for underframe equipment and bogies. Stuart Mackay Collection.
