Class 121 DMU at Looe

30th September 1978

On 30 September 1978 a return trip on the Looe branch was strengthened by adding a three-car set to the class 121 Pressed Steel "bubble car" to convey passengers from a Main Line Steam Trust loco-hauled railtour down the branch. W55026 (new 1960) is "on the stops" with most of the other three cars not visible (and indeed the full train did not fit the platform". Mercifully I recorded the bus details - this is TTP999, a Leyland Tiger Cub with Weymann body new to City of Portsmouth in 1960 as their number 25. I believe it was owned by Deeble of Upton Cross at the time. Jeremy Chapter.
