Class 101 DMU at Nottingham

Unknown date

On 14 April 1991 former Strathclyde class 101, now Tyseley set T078 with 53146 + 51249 were calling at Nottingham station while working an eastbound train. The destination blind is blank so I have no idea of the destination but either Lincoln or Skegness are possibilities. Most of the waiting passengers were clearly waiting for a later train as none seem to be moving towards the DMU. Peter Tandy.

Class 101 DMU at Tyseley

26th December 1990

Class 101 51249, set number T078 (presumably with 53146), is seen stabled outside the factory at Tyseley on 26.12.1990. This had been transferred down from Scotland, and was not one of the refurbished examples. These did make a strange sight working in the West Midlands in their Strathclyde PTE livery. Andy Cole.

Class 101 DMU at Rose Hill

21st February 1991

53146 + 51249 (T078) are seen at Rose Hill with the 14:23 to Piccadilly, 21-2-91. Kevin Dowd.

Class 101 DMU at Llandudno Junction

29th May 1991

Class 101 set T078 (presumably 53146 + 51249) seen in Llandudno Junction on the 29th May 1991. Hamish Stevenson.

Class 101 DMU at Stratford-upon-Avon

1st July 1991

One of the more colourful units to arrive at Stratford-upon-Avon was this ex-Strathclyde class 101 (T078, 53146 + 51249). I saw it on the morning of 1 July 1991 but was unable to get out of the office during the day to record it on film. However, it stuck to diagram and is pictured here leaving the Warwickshire terminus in the company of Class 117 T310 still in corporate blue and grey. The Tyseley unit unit number appears to been applied in a rather amateurish fashion, as does the paint covering the front-end damage - the colour there is more akin to the bodyside shade rather than the normal yellow. Still, I suppose that this were the final months of DMMU workings in the area, so it probably wasn't worth spending too much on the cosmetic appearance of local trains. Peter Tandy.

Class 101 DMU at Hereford

26th July 1991

Tyseley Class 101 power twin set T078 (53146 + 51249) approaches Hereford on 26 July 1991. Stuart Mackay Collection.
