    On This Day In History

    in UK Prototype Discussions (not questions!)

    Posted · Edited by Crossfell5

    Some records from the start of summer 1976, both at Bristol Parkway (on coffee break from marking, so some light relief!).

     

    11/5/76 25 323 on 3S14 Bristol-Sighthill parcels. 37 299, 45 017/028/032/071 (one of my first sightings of a sealed headlight peak); 46 005/048/049, 47 024/082/094/149/477/493/504/533, 50 032, D1068 Western Reliance and class 101 51582-59285-51573, class 121 W55035.

     

    12/5/76 46 024 on 3S14, 50 011 on 3B01 Worcester-Bristol (a single GUV, Kay's parcels), 37 159/295 on Amey road stone PGAs to or from Tytherington, 37 186 banking 47 233 on Danygraig-Stratford freightliner service the 37 being detached at Stoke Gifford, 45 001, 46 010/029, 47 013/076/136/182/493/504/533, 50 009 on a service to W-S-M, D1022 Western Sentinel and D1041 Western Prince. Class 120 50700-59882-50659.

     

    The cessation of headcodes in early 1976 made train identification difficult, but I noted those trains whose consists I recognised. Unfortunately I did not note what service trains the Westerns were on. No HSTs yet, and the 47/4s still ruled the rails on South Wales-London services.

    Not alot of info Downendian - but 45071 was 1V71 - then came back on PZ-BNS 1M74 on this day

     

    RE Marker lights - if your list is correct 46049 was exactly the same as well!  45071 coming out 31/12/75 (but may have lurked at Derby till the New Year)  - 46049 release date 28/2/76

    Been checking the Rail Observers' for that time period - the only notes were just the set No 253021 i'm afraid.

     

    Initially looked at 1976 by mistake and found a few Test train details from Derby to Morpeth etc. I'll copy them down and post if you haven't got the info already.

     

    In the meantime found a cracking picture here http://www.neil-gibson.fotopic.net/p65816820.html
