The Bubble Cars - Class 121 and 122

Greetings! :D

Being something of an unexpected survivor of the 1950s BR Modernisation Plan era, the Bubble Cars of the Class 121 and 122 were originally conceived as a means to provide economic services on routes that were facing the end of their working lives, especially as the Beeching Axe came down on many of the less profitable lines across England, Wales and Scotland.

However, despite losing much of their work early on, the Class 121 and 122 would see continued use throughout the decades on a variety of operations, and would eventually see a 57 year career under their belts by the time the last examples were withdrawn from regular passenger service in 2017.
