Class 101 DMU at Mortimer

23rd June 1989

Less commonplace at Mortimer on the Reading to Basingstoke line than the regular DEMUs and giving a welcome splash of colour on the beautiful evening of 23 June 1989 was class 101 unit L837 led by 51437 (presumably with 59128 + 53751). The well-preserved platelayers hut was a bit of a rarity even then with most of these structures having long since become derelict. It looks as if the original brick-built hut has been lost but replaced by a newish garden shed although the chimney and fireplace survived. I guess that this was still in use at the time and I do recall talking to a ganger on this stretch of line who said that the good state of the track was a matter of considerable pride to him and his colleagues. Peter Tandy.
