A Gloucester twin formed of 50345 (with yellow cab doors) and 56302 arrives into Prestonpans station on 10 May 1969. Bound for Edinburgh Waverley, presumably on a service from North Berwick, the driver has a couple of young guests in the cab with him. Stuart Mackay Collection.

10th May 1969
The negative sleeve recorded this as 56310 + 51110 on the 2.35pm Waverley to North Berwick service departing Prestopans on 10 May 1969. However 56310 had been transferred from Scotland to South Gosforth a couple of years earlier so that part is likely wrong. 51110 was a Leith Central vehicle. Stuart Mackay Collection.

August 1969
Set: LT291

August 1969
Set: LT291
In August 1969 I read that the Great Central & Midland Railway branch line from New Mills to Hayfield in Derbyshire was going to be closed shortly so took time off from geological mapping near Hartington on the Derbyshire/Staffordshire border & travelled up by train from Buxton. This diesel multiple unit took me from New Mills and here it stands in Hayfield station after arrival. Hayfield station building was intact & quite a few passengers still used the service. So why close it? Allegedly to save maintenance of the tunnel just outside New Mills station. However, after closure the tunnel remained open because it was used to stable the dmu before returning to Manchester. So again why close it? Pete LG99.
7th August 1969
A class 100 Gloucester twin car d.m.u. after arrival at the old North Berwick station from Edinburgh Waverley on 7 August 1969. Since January of the previous year the North Berwick branch had been a long siding from Drem. The branch was then under threat of closure. It didn't and is now electrified with a frequent service to Edinburgh. All that you see here is gone and the long siding shortened by a couple of hundred yards. Gordon Thomson.
23rd August 1969
Set: 89
A GRC&W twin set seen at Longniddry with an Edinburgh Waverley - North Berwick service on 23 August 1969. The DMBS (which seems to carry set number 89) has 'LW' on the blue square instead of the more usual 'G' for these Scottish sets. The DTCL - in Rail Blue livery - has yellow cab doors. Stuart Mackay Collection.
Unknown Date
A Class 100/105 hybrid set in green with a 2-car Class 100 in blue, the DTC with a small yellow panel. It is seen heading out of Cromer Beach station towards Sheringham. Date unknown, the GRC&W vehicles first arrived at Norwich in 1969. Steve Davies Collection.
Unknown Date
The train crew are having a break on the bench in Sheringham station before they depart on their GRC&W twin set. Date unknown, the first of these sets arrived at Norwich in 1969. Steve Davies Collection.
circa 1970
The fleet of 40 Class 100 2-car units were built by Gloucester RC&W Co in two batches for local services around Edinburgh (although eleven units were initially delivered to the Manchester area for a short period). Changing traffic patterns in the late 1960s saw them transferred to Norwich Thorpe depot for local services in East Anglia, where they remained until the end of the 1970s - regarded as non-standard, withdrawals started relatively early, though the final car lasted in passenger service until 1988. This tatty unit had evidently been transferred to Norwich by the time of this shot, which appears to be the early 1970s. The window bars suggest it has spent time in the North East, meaning this is probably 56099. Graeme Phillips Collection.
