2nd September 1967
A Derby Lightweight unit has just arrived at Barrow on the 2nd of September 1967 as 5F 44709 is leaving with the 14.35 service to Manchester. The KDH Archive.
15th June 1968
I visited Barrow on a Northern Railfans minibus trip to sheds in the northwest that left from Manchester Victoria - still pretty steamy then - on the Friday evening. This was my one and only real trainspotting foray. Disappointingly there were no steam engines remaining at Barrow in 1968 & I only took a couple of shots - this negative lay unprinted for years. I wish now that I had taken more photos around the shed but at least I did record the depot’s intermediate period when it mainly handled dmus. This Derby Lightweight unit M79134 has obviously been involved in a nasty knock with front buffer gone and cab windows smashed. New to Monument Lane in March 1956 & transferred to Carlisle Upperby in January 1968, the damage was considered too serious for repair and it was withdrawn in early June 1968. Pete LG99.

3rd September 1975
Barrow in Furness station on 3 September 1975. In the grey morning light, where I had just been decanted from the overnight train from Euston - an LMS design 12-wheel sleeper - hunted abominably on long welded rail, but rode beautifully once we'd turned off the West Coast Main Line on to jointed track at Carnforth.

16th December 1981
Wednesday 16th December 1981 began very foggy, there's also been some snow and it's frozen hard. A two car 114 DMU emerges from the fog at Mountsorrel Sidings, Barrow upon Soar working the 1230 Nottingham - Leicester local service. These were great units, based at Lincoln with extremely good heaters & a nice long 'bed' in their 3 + 2 seating arrangement although the blue check upholstery fabric could chafe your face so I always tried to sleep on my back. John Simmonds.
