RMweb Gold Market65 Posted July 23, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 23, 2021 Hi, it was just Leeds by the date of that photo’. Leeds Central had been closed down for a number of years by then. It had closed down in 1967 when all services were transferred to what was Leeds City station. I hope this is of some help. Rob. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The photo is from Platform 7 looking at the DMU in Platform 5 at Leeds City. The farthest two platforms and the parcels vans were in the old Leeds Wellington station and still refereed to as such in some P/W documents in the late 80's 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim76 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 The second 'Edinburgh' one is Dundee Tay Bridge. I took my first mainline service around this time (1978) It was a white / blue Class 101 from Haymarket to Burntisland. Saw an HST on the Forth Bridge. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium MJI Posted August 13, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 13, 2021 I remember the first time I travelled in a Tyseley 116 and was puzzled by the lack of gangway. All the WR high density were gangwayed, and I had travelled on WR 116 117 and 118 before. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben B Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 I know it's generally considered an impractical livery in terms of cleaning, but have any preserved units ever carried white and blue? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A class 114 at the Midland Railway Centre did for a while, now undergoing overhaul and repaint into green. Rob 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

West Midlands local stations all had ticket offices as I recall. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if has other refurb features missing The unit to which you refer is highly likely to be E51230-E56369 which was refurbished in March 1976, just as the refurbishment ball got rolling. I suspect that the final specification was still a moving target at that time, hence the lack of continuous gutters and the application of blue squares to the cab ends. Some unrefurbished vehicles in the later 1970s gaines refurbishment features: there were blue 101s with bean can silencers on the underframes and large silencers on the inner ends. The subsequent overhaul usually had the rest of the refurbishment undertaken. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium keefer Posted August 24, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 24, 2021 (edited) The one at Iver 1979 was a fairly common formation, a cl.121 standing in for a cl.117 DMBS. EDIT: This was a more likely livery combination as only two cl.121 vehicles received white/blue - DMBS W55034 and DTS W56283 https://www.railcar.co.uk/type/class-121/liveries Edited August 24, 2021 by keefer 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
