Unknown Date
Set: 168
Class 116 set 168 at Elderslie, circa 1980. Elderslie station was long closed, but at this time still retained some of it's importance as a junction. Andrew McConnell.
1980
A Class 126 and 116 pass at Elderslie No.1 Signal Box where the Paisley Canal Line diverged to the right. 1980. The yard is full of 16t mineral wagons. Andrew McConnell.
15th November 1980
Six car Class 107 DMU speeds past Elderslie No.1 Signal Box on 14:00 Glasgow Central - Ayr service from Paisley Gilmour Street. The rear Set has one all blue DMBS car. The Gilmour Street lines are straight behind whilst the Paisley Canal lines veer off to the right, behind the DMUs and Signal Box. Rumoured to be the last surviving GSWR signal, a lower quadrant shunt signal was still extant at Elderslie (see cracking David Christie picture on Railcar). Whilst the rail infrastructure has changed out of all recognition post electrification, a view here is no longer possible - the road overbridge has gone, as have the Millarston high flats in the distance on the left!

15th November 1980
Derby Class 107 DMU crosses the mainlines at Elderslie No.1 Signal Box onto the Paisley Canal lines with 14:03 Kilmacolm - Glasgow Central working. There was one Kilmacolm train a day via Gilmour Street in the last public timetable, an early morning service that stopped at Hillington West, Gilmour Street thence Houston and Crosslee as normal. There was no return working in the public timetable. Kilmacolm line services from Cart Junction and Elderslie No.2 came in on the line second from left. Kilmacolm bound trains were routed onto the line leading off to the right towards Elderslie No.2 Signal Box. Elderslie station closed in 1966 and the two island platforms were in the large gaps either side of the mainlines in the foreground. Saturday 15 November 1980. alicia hartman.
December 1980
Set: 400
Class 126 (set 400, 51030 closest) Elderslie Dec 1980. Living in Paisley at the time I took a day out one Saturday to film the Ayr (formerly Hamilton based) Derby's as we called them on the Paisley Canal line and Kilmacolm branch. Why I did this in December and not when the weather was better I'll never know! This is actually the junction for both the lines being photographed although the subject of this shot is an Ayr based Swindon rattling through on the main line towards Gilmour Street. Alistair Ness.
December 1980
Set: 156
Classes 107 (set 156) and 126 Elderslie Junction Dec 1980 Living in Paisley at the time I took a day out one Saturday to film the Ayr (formerly Hamilton based) Derby's as we called them on the Paisley Canal line and Kilmacolm branch. Why I did this in December and not when the weather was better I'll never know! This shot is taken at Elderslie which is the junction for both lines although neither of these trains are routed that way. Alistair Ness.

Trains passing near Elderslie on 6 March 1982. The approaching train is 3-car Class 126 DMU 126 412 (Sc51042 closest) on the 15.00 from Glasgow Central to Ayr. Tom Burnham.
November 1982
Set: 126406
126 406 has just passed Elderslie No2 Signal Box and is crossing the flyunder for the Kilmacolm Branch (the truncated G&SWR main line to Greenock Princes Pier). The unit would have hit top speed along this section and would shortly after have the brakes applied hard for the stop at Johnstone. The short, 7 minute journey from Paisley to Johnstone was one of my favourite regular DMU trips. Photo taken at the very end of Class 126 operation - probably end of November 1982. The Kilmacolm line was closed in January 1983. Andrew McConnell.
