A two-Car Class 101 passing the site of West Silkstone Junction with a Huddersfield to Sheffield train 13th June 1983, the route of the closed Worsborough Incline is to the right. The bridge on the right is the one used for the exchange of the £175,000 ransom money by Michael Sams in 1992 before he made his escape along the old trackbed. Keith Long.
A Met-Camm DMU (ScR set 319) at Duffield station, seen from the Wirksworth branch platform on June 14, 1983. This may be 50269 and the set could be in the area after overhaul at Derby C&W Works. Steve Davies Collection.

My notes say that this is Sc51243 calling at Inverkeithing with the 07:03 Edinburgh Waverley to Cowdenbeath service on 15th June 1983. However, Sc51243 was a Driving Motor Brake 2nd so I can only assume I scribbled down the number of the rear car as the train pulled out! The station depicted here opened in 1890 in connection with the Forth Bridge project. It replaced the previous 1877 station which had been situated on the south side of Boreland Road overbridge at the far end of the station. The relocation was necessary as the new line to the Forth Bridge bypassed the old station which was situated on what initially became the North Queensferry branch. The station building to the right of the DMU was replaced during redevelopment of Inverkeithing station in the mid 1980s. The building on the left platform remains in use today. Brian McDevitt.

Heading away from Whitland with the 10:07 to Pembroke Dock is Class 101 DMU set C814 (presumably 53335 + 59123 + 53319) on 18 June 1983. Robert Thomas.
Having worked in from Waverley as 2V04, a hybrid 3 car set prepares to cross over to form the 2G36 0938 Kirkcaldy to Edinburgh service on 18th June 1983. A class 122 railcar, Sc55000, leads a couple of Metro-Cammell vehicles (51248 closest); at this point the 122 was based at Haymarket but its usefulness would mean that it was to last a further 11 years in service until withdrawal in 1994 from Laira. Beyond the station can be seen part of what was once a sprawling empire of linoleum mills. However, the distinctive smell can still be found in the town as one mill continues to produce the floor covering. The goods yard is in its latter years; the closure of the harbour branch and those mills significantly reduced the freight traffic. Latterly, a domestic coal merchant seemed to be the main user. The sight of a wee Barclay 06 parked beside the signal box was long gone. Bruce Galloway.
53323 and 59129 in the carriage sidings at Tyseley on the 18th June 1983. Jerry Glover.
A Class 101 passes Ouston Junction, Birtley, Co. Durham southbound down the East Coast Main Line in pre-electrification days, on 20/06/1983, with the 18:58 Newcastle-Durham local service. The trackwork to the right is the junction to the Consett steelworks: the original photographer remarked that track rationalisation was evident in this view. Graeme Phillips Collection.
