circa 1982
Class 105 D.M.U. vehicle M50392 pictured in the early 1980s, and appears to be alongside Bletchley depot. It was withdrawn from there in January 1981. Eddie Knorn adds: From memory it hit something at Watford Junction in 1980/81, leading to the damage seen here. The Class 105s on the branch (and Bedford - Bletchley line) were displaced by Class 104s from Autumn 1981, so were mostly withdrawn at that time. Note the second passenger window has three transfers on it: "FIRST", triangular NO SMOKING and a circular No Smoking below that. The "FIRST" is incorrect as this vehicle was second class only, but as this and the triangular label were "fired in" onto the glass, they could not be scraped off. I suspect that a broken window meant the use of any piece of glass that fitted. Curly42.
