Date: 19th September 1978
Set number: TS416
An unusual visitor departing Gloucester on 19th September 1978 is Tyseley set TS416 formed of two Cravens DMBSs and a BRC&W centre car (51490 + 59193 + 51283). The leading vehicle still carries its former ScR set number 173. Paul James.
Date: 4th April 1980
On 04/04/1980 a Class 105 (E56466 + E51283) arrives at Heworth, then a relatively new station which had opened to BR services on 05/11/1979. In the background, catenary masts for the Tyneside Metro system have yet to appear, although services started running to Heworth on 15/11/1981. Graeme Phillips Collection.
