A GRC&W Cross-Country DMU in BR green with yellow "whiskers" (before yellow warning panels were introduced) leaving Swansea (High St) on a service to Carmarthen, Summer 1963. Scanned photograph taken by myself with a Brownie 127, hence quality is not the best! Hugh Llewelyn.
With eight vehicles in view this is likely a nine-car Cross-Country formation. The first two sets are of the GRC&W variety, the rear set - with less roof vents - was Swindon built. DMSL W51092 leads the train into (or through) Braford Peverell and Stratton Halt on 18 August 1963, a station on the former Wiltshire, Somerset & Weymouth Railway which closed in October 1965. Stuart Mackay Collection.
A 3-car Gloucester Cross Country set with W51099 leading is assisted up the Lickey Incline hauled by 8400, the latter allocated to this task. The 119 continued unaided from Blackwell. Assistance up the incline was likely required owing to the tail load (visible at the rear) being carried, 5/10/63. Dave Hill.

In the mid 1960s, a Tyseley based Gloucester RC&W 'Cross-Country' set was scheduled to work what was known in the Chester/Wirral area as "the Leamington" - a Leamington Spa - Birkenhead service which - prior to be taken over by one of these sets - had usually been hauled by a "Hall" class 4-6-0 as far as Chester. One of these sets is seen here passing Port Sunlight in 1966. The style of the yellow panel shows that the last repaint had taken place at Swindon. David Faircloth.
