August 1980
For many years BR ran a weekday service to the private platform in Rosyth Naval Base. One train a day ran from Kirkcaldy to Inverkeithing in the morning where it disappeared from the public timetable and took dockyard workers down the otherwise freight only branch. One day in August 1980 I took this grab shot of the evening return working heading up the branch towards Inverkeithing where it would continue as a public working to Kirkcaldy. Other than railtours, it was possible to travel the branch once a year on the annual dockyard open day when BR ran 6 car specials from Edinburgh. Tracks are still in situ along this branch although heavily overgrown and disconnected from the main line. Murray Liston.

2nd August 1980
A mixed livery Class 101 set arrives into Dunfermline Lower station with an Edinburgh bound service on August 2, 1980. The GG Trans-Clyde markings suggest the vehicle closest is probably 51537, a recent transfer from Ayr to Haymarket. Walter Burt.
2nd August 1980
On Saturday August 2nd 1980, the 15.53 Cambridge - Peterborough service is formed of Cambridge allocated Met-Cam E51225 + E56373 when seen at March West Jn. These sets had been refurbished and were normally found on the Cambridge - Royston or Bishop's Stortford shuttles with only occasional forays elsewhere. Gerard Fletcher.
2nd August 1980
Middlesbrough at 8:58am on Saturday 02/08/1980, with vehicle E50256 nearest the camera, with a service for Darlington. Its headcode box, by this time defunct, appears unusual, possibly a little smaller than normal, the inner square so black it looks like it may have been painted, without the usual central dividing line. This vehicle is now preserved. Graeme Phillips Collection.
5th August 1980

Although situated on the East Coast Main Line, it was one of a number of stations closed across Newcastle and North Tyneside at this time, pending development of the Tyneside Metro system. Heaton station wasn't replaced as part of the Metro system, but the area is served by nearby Byker and Chillingham Road stations. Graeme Phillips Collection.

On 23rd August 1980 the BLS “Lothian & Fife Wanderer” covered a number of freight lines around Edinburgh and Fife, formed of 3 car Met Camm set 51224+59067+50243. I did not travel on this but chose to take some photos, sadly only with a Kodak Instamatic. Here it is seen passing through Newington on the Edinburgh South Suburban line, the station here closed in 1962 and has since been razed to track level. Murray Liston.
