Class 119 DMU set C590 (presumably 51087 + 59418 + 51058) arrives into Nailsea and Backwell station in the spring of 1980. Michael Mensing.

Class 119 DMU at Gomshall

Unknown date

Unknown date, class 119 set C590 (presumably 51058 + 59418 + 51087) pauses at Gomshall on the North Downs line. Ian Buck.

Class 119 DMU at Gloucester

May 1986

Class 119 DMU set C590 (presumably 51087 closest) about to leave Gloucester on a Cardiff service, 05/86. Hugh Llewelyn.

Class 119 DMU at near Chepstow

July 1986

Gloucester RC&W Co. Class 119 Cross Country 3-car dmu Set No.C590 (51087 and presumably 59418 + 51058) in BR Rail Blue & Grey with all yellow front ends near Chepstow on a Gloucester - Cardiff service, 07/86. Hugh Llewelyn.

Class 119 DMU at Cardiff Central station

18th July 1987

Class 119 DMU at Newcastle

16th September 1987

Cars 51087 59040 53847 are seen awaiting departure from the then platform 5 at Newcastle with an evening commuter service, 16/9/87. The front car is Class 119, the other two are Class 116. Adjacent in the then platform 4 are Mk 1 coaches (distinguishable from DMU stock by the window frames and Commonwealth bogies), probably a locomotive-hauled Pacer substitution - these were invariably three coaches in length, and their positioning relative to the DMU suggests a locomotive may be 'trapped' at the buffer stops. Graeme Phillips Collection.

Class 119 DMU at Battersby

9th October 1987

An unusual sight of a Class 119 at Battersby, North Yorkshire, on the rural Esk Valley line between Middlesbrough and Whitby. Taken on on the 09/10/1987, closest is 51058, the car furthest from the camera is a suburban type, either Class 116 or 118. Graeme Phillips Collection.

Class 119 DMU at Thornaby

late 1987

A Class 119 DMSL (C590 + 51087) and a suburban DMBS in Thornaby station, late 1987. Brian Ward.
