LPPC DSL BW 00723 The desolation of Pembroke Dock station is well defined on this miserable wet morning after the arrival of a WR Swindon Class 120 (Set C504) Cross Country DMU from Whitland. An English Electric Type 3 Class 37 waits to follow the DMU on its return journey. I often wondered whether anyone in Marylebone Road ever stopped to wonder whether their miraculous ‘economies’ actually caused potential passengers to turn away from using rail, faced with what a dump this and many other stations had become with zero investment.
