27th April 1975
Class 119 set B573 in Bristol Temple Meads on April 27th 1975, presumably with 51083 closest. To the right was the 'Western Enterprise' railtour. 54A South Dock.
4th November 1977
Class 119 DMU set B573 stabled in the centre road at Worcester Shrub Hill on 4 November 1977. The water filler pipe at the far end of the first vehicle tells us the DMSL is closest, the vehicles should be 51083 + 59417 + 51055. Stuart Mackay Collection.
1st May 1979
Class 119 set B573 (W51083 + W59417 + W51055) at Severn Beach on 1 May 1979. Some students were conducting a passenger survey that evening and when they got to us asked "do you live on the beach"? Quick as a flash my friend Alan replied "no, I live in a house". My how we laughed. I don't think the poor lad knew what to make of that, nor our reason for travel and departing again on the same train, as it didn't fit neatly into any of his survey tick boxes!!! He avoided us on the journey back to Bristol. Alistair Ness.
Do you have any images of the set you can add?
