A Met-Camm and a Gloucester DMU departs from North Queensferry station with a northbound service circa 1974/5. Roger Geach Collection.
A Class 101 DMU in Weymouth station. The train seems to contain three sets, the middle one being a Cross-Country unit. The image is undated but the headcode box suggests early / mid-1970s. The lack of set number suggests that this is probably not one of the Western Regions own Met-Camms. Neil Smith.
The thirteen-mile former NER branch from Haltwhistle to Alston managed to escape Beeching's axe in the 1960s, only to be closed in May 1976, following a long period of 'rationalisation' by British Rail. Plans to run the railway as a preserved line came to nought, although Alston does see trains again, in the form of the narrow gauge South Tyndale Railway which has been based here since the early 1980s. This view sees a class 101 DMU on arrival in 1975. The station once boasted an overall roof, engine shed alongside and a turntable. Image by Michael Brown. Kevin Lane Collection.

A 4-car 101 and a 4-car 104 run into Scarborough on 28/3/75. Ian Francis.
Metro Cammell at Newton Abbot, 30 March 1975. Historically, the Western Region never had any Metro Cammell units - but that changed in the mid-seventies. I think this was one of the first I'd seen so far West, hence the photograph. John Crooks.

A Met-Camm 3 car diesel multiple unit on a Chester to Shrewsbury service leans to the curve through the closed Rednal station on 26th April 1975. Note the Great Western "SW" - Sound Whistle - on the Down line beyond the train. The Welsh mountains tower in the background much closer than they are in reality due to the telephoto effect. I had actually taken this shot as a test for the photos I would later take of 6000 King George V and 35028 Clan Line as they headed south on the two portions of the Mayflower steam special. It's a sobering thought that 36 years later it is actually the dmu that is the rarity. Clan Line could be on a steam special again but it's very unlikely that anyone would be able to, or even want to, run a dmu special between Chester & Shrewsbury! Pete LG99.
