Looking at Class 108 attached to Class 104 car M50454.

Class 104 awaits departure with the 1300 Carrog-Llangollen.

Class 104 and 108 inbetween turns at Carrog.

Destination Ormskirk!

104 and Class 122 W55001=matching livery.

A little later and the 122, 6430 and autocoaches dry out in the sun at Carrog!

Autocoaches boil at Llangollen.

It was p*****g down at Llangollen at 1030 on the 17th. The 122 next to 6430 and autocoaches getting drenched.

Story of the Class 122 restoration.

Wickam unit and Class 104 in Pentrefelin Yard.

Wickham Railbus and Class 104 in Pentefelin yard, as seen from the Class 122.

Drivers view, cab of Class 122.

View through centre window of Class 122. Note the old departmental number still visible!

About to plunge into Berwyn tunnel.

Blue is the colour. The blue Class 104, Class 108 and Class 122 W55001 approach Glyndyfrdwy with the 1700 Carrog-Llangollen in late afternoon sun.

The striking blue Class 104 arrives at Carrog with the 1625 from Llangollen.

W55001 is lost in the landscape as it purrs away to Carrog.

Class 122 W55001 passes Fisherman's Crossing on the way up to Carrog with the 1525 Llangollen-Carrog.

B****R! This was full sun for 15 minutes before the 104 came into view with the 1540 Carrog-Llangollen!

As usual, the autotrain was operating, providing a contrast between methods of travel. 6430 leaves Glyndyfrwy on an afternoon working to Carrog.

6430 and autocoaches arrive at Glyndyfrdwy in a shower of rain.

Comparison between hybrid Class 127 and Class 122 at Carrog.

A good comparison between the Class 127 and Class 122. Note the diverse destination blinds!!

The sun appears. Class 122 W55001 tagged on the rear of the Wickham unit at Glyndyfrdwy, forming the 1440 Carrog-Llangollen.

Profile of the Class 122. I was determined to get a shot in full sun wherever, and either moving or static. The sun appeared at Glyndyfrdwy so I stopped there!1

In a downpour, the Class 108 arrives at Glyndyfrdwy with the 1400 from Llangollen.

There was sun at Berwyn for 10 minutes until the very moment the 122 arrived on the 1325 Llangollen-Carrog, with the 104 at the rear.

There's more romance with travel in the autocoaches, compared to the rather bland interior of the 122.

A view of the compartment of Class 122. The internal doors are only about 2 feet wide so would never comply with disability legislation today and fat enthusiasts would have no chance!! (not me!).
