The vehicle is mentioned in the following images:
Date: 10th May 1969
A Darlington allocated four-car Met-Camm arrives into Prestonpans station on 10 May 1969. The cars are recorded as E50193 + 59068 + 59075 + 50263, the first is still in green but the others are in Rail Blue. A Gloucester twin can be seen departing in the distance. Stuart Mackay Collection.
Date: 31st December 1973
An unusual visitor to Hereford in the form of a 3 car Met-Cam formed of 51A (Darlington) set E50268-59075-50185, 31-12-73. Paul James.
Date: 9th July 1976
An unusual photo showing a very long formation formed neatly of Class 101 & 108 vehicles all carrying the short lived refurbishment livery. The occasion was a schools special from Scarborough to Chester returning through Helsby, 9/7/76. The 8-car formation was 50169/59306/59075/50161, 56191/50619 & 51230/56369. Anthony Griffiths.
Date: 26th July 1980
Berthed overnight in the 'Harrogate line' bay, platform 13 at York, on 26th July 1980 was this four car Metropolitan-Cammell class 101 DMU set, Nos.50161-59306-59075-50638, adding splendidly to the fumes under the magnificent overall roof. Thankfully the doors were not locked on this unit and one of the trailer cars provided a useful refuge during the quieter moments of my 'all-nighter' at York. Gordon Edgar.
Date: 6th June 1982
Met-Camm four-car set E50169 + E59075 + E59306 + E50161 with a Dalesrail service in Skipton station on June 6th, 1982. John Carter.
Date: 1984
Cars E53262 E59075 E53150 wait at Whitby to return to Darlington via Middlesbrough, sometime in 1984. With their day out at the seaside drawing to a close, the steady stream of boarding passengers slam the heavy doors behind them and locate a comfortable but springy seat. There is a distinctive smell, and windows and other fittings vibrate as the engines idle. As departure time comes, the guard buzzes to the driver to move off, and the train slowly pulls away through the gears, to set off on a scenic journey of 35 miles to Middlesbrough, which, with 15 intermediate stops including reversal at Battersby, will take almost 90 minutes. Graeme Phillips Collection.
Date: 4th March 1987
A Class 101 formed of DMCL 53169, TBSL 59075, and DMCL 53161 is seen in Carnforth station with the 12.31 Leeds - Lancaster on 4 May 1987. Dave Warby Collection.
Date: circa late-Autumn 1987
Set number: 535
DMUs in the big shed at Corkerhill depot circa late Autumn 1987. The Met-Camm is 101360, presumably 53158 + 59075 + 53160, the Swindon is set 535 presumably with 53654 closest. Brian Ward.
Date: 23rd October 1988
Withdrawn Class 101s E54077 and E59075 at Snailwell on 23 October 1988. Nicholas Youngman.
