Class 115 DMUs stabled outside Marylebone station - with Lisson Green housing estate under construction behind. The Class 115 DMUs were high density sets which operated the outer-suburban services from Marylebone to High Wycombe, Aylesbury and Banbury. They operated the line for more than 30 years, from 1960 to 1991. The Lisson Green estate, seen in the background, was designed in the 1960’s, and built between 1970 and 1975. The estate became a 'no go' area in the 1980s and 1990s. Taken with my basic Kodak Brownie using 120 roll film, circa 1975. Chris McKee.

Two dmus & a Ford Transit van at the London terminus of the Great Central Railway's extension, at Marylebone on 31st December 1975. It opened 76 years earlier & was virtually unchanged. The right-hand train is departing for Aylesbury. Before privatisation British Rail removed the right-hand platforms & roof during the 1990 remodelling. However the platform awning on the far right was retained and fitted to the left-hand span. However with the increase in traffic the station proved to be too small & additional platforms were opened by Chiltern Railways. Pete LG99.
Great Central Railway London Marylebone 31st December 1975. Only 9 years since closure of the through route & 6 since total closure north of Rugby the GCR's 1897 London Extension was nothing more than a commuter line from Marylebone to Aylesbury in 1975. Little had changed since the diesel multiple units had taken over including the semaphore signalling as a train departs northwards. The other unit is stabled in the Down sidings. It's not obvious but the turntable also survived behind that set. Pete LG99.

A Class 115 on a Banbury service in Wembley Complex station. This slide is undated, the station does not seem to have been given that name until May 1978, and the sign on the right does not look recent, so maybe early 1980s? The leading power car is still in plain Rail Blue livery with the centre cars are in Blue/Grey. Stuart Mackay Collection.
