9th September 1975
According to my notes, this is either E50248 or E56082 - I think it's the former as I can't see a First Class yellow stripe, which means that it is a Class 101/2 built by Metro-Cammell in 1957. It is waiting to form the 1410 South Shields to Newcastle on 9 September 1975, around six years before the line was closed for conversion as part of the Tyne & Wear Metro system. The line had been worked by third rail EMUs until 1963. Jeremy Chapter.

E56086 + E50251 with the 11:08 to Newcastle at South Shields on April 4, 1981. The soon to be withdrawn service to South Shields - the line was converted to light rail Metro trains. However, the Metro line stopped short of here with a featureless 'plastic' station being provided instead. A NER tiled map can be seen on the wall on the right, I wonder what happened to that when the station was demolished. John Carter.
