We are most grateful to David Tozer for diving into his 'Treasure Trove' and producing the following pictures.

Taken from a Kingswear bound train - 1980's. The DMU’s are Inter City Class 123’s built by Swindon in 1963 – only ten sets. I seem to recall they worked routes from Cardiff. Later I think they were moved to Hull? to work Trans Pennines trains work along side the similar Class 124 units which did not have corridor connections. The location, Well I was on the move at the time on a train to Kingswear!!! Copyright David Tozer
Hello David,
I remember these units brand new at Penzance working a service to and from Cardiff, departing around 06.00hrs and returning late evening. This train was normally composed of 2 x 4 Car sets and a two car set, over the first few weeks I saw the complete class at Penzance. They had a miniature buffet in a four car set and rode on the then new Swindon B4 bogie. A very nice unit indeed.
Thanks Roger Winnen
