Unknown date

Set number: 197

Two mixed-livery Class 101s pass through Princes Street Gardens after leaving Edinburgh Waverley with a Dundee service on 22 August 1980. Set 197 leads, probably SC50141 at the front. Its centre car is one of the Met-Camm buffets. Taken by HC Casserley. Stuart Mackay Collection.

Set number: 101307

1988

Set number: 101316

Many Met-Camm sets in the DMU sidings in Haymarket depot in 1988. Closest is 101316 (the DMC is presumably 53141), at the stops on the left is 53447. S Saunders.

Class 101 DMU at South Bank, Cleveland

29th April 1988

Set number: 101307

Poor availability of Class 143 Pacers due to failures of their gearboxes, led to a large influx of First Generation DMUs to Heaton depot, Newcastle, particularly from Autumn 1987, to maintain local services in the north-east. A number of Class 101s came from Scotland, and that is clearly the case for the rear car SC53141 in this view of a service passing South Bank, Cleveland, heading east towards Saltburn, on Friday 29/04/1988. Graeme Phillips Collection.
