MED set at Bangor West - 1975 (2)
A UTA built MED set smokes its way out of Bangor West station with a Belfast (Queen's Quay) - Bangor passenger service. Bangor West station, which opened in 1928 to serve a rapidly expanding Bangor suburb, can just be glimpsed in the left background. The small wooden booking office and waiting rooms were replaced in 1978 by a basic concrete structure.

Locomotive 101 at Bangor West - 1990 (2)
101 "Eagle" pauses at Bangor West station with the 12.55 passenger service from Portadown to Bangor. Built by BREL at Doncaster and introduced to service in 1970, 101 and her two sisters 102 "Falcon" and 103 "Merlin" worked cross-border "Enterprise" passenger trains until displaced in 1981. Increasingly unreliable, they were withdrawn between 1989 and 1993 - although 102 was briefly reinstated in 2002. Only 102 "Falcon" survives, preserved in the Ulster Folk & Transport Museum at Cultra.

Bangor West Ticket Desk
Inside the 1970s Ticket Desk at Bangor West.
According to the bored cleric, the Ticket Desk is only open to "10-ish". I spent a few days trying to find opening times.

Bangor West station - 1988
The basic brick shelter seen at right replaced the original BCDR building in 1978. Everything in this scene is dressed in Northern Ireland Railways' "Suburban" colours, which was applied to Bangor line structures (and some 80-class DEMU sets) from 1987 to 1991. The train is the 09.55 passenger service from Bangor to Portadown.
