3rd November 1986
M53953 + M54242 await departure from Newcastle p5 with the 12:35 Newcastle - Alnmouth local service on 3/11/86. At the time, these cars were allocated to Kingmoor for Cumbria services, but this one could have worked across to Newcastle on a Tyne Valley service, perhaps due to unit failure, and was now being utilised on this north-east service. Most of the Kingmoor 108s - including this pairing - were reallocated to Heaton in May 1988, when the former was closed, the remaining units going to Chester depot. Graeme Phillips Collection.

My only visit to Newcastle Central was on 11-04-1987 - and the weather was wet and dark. However these views record the station in the immediate pre-electrification era. A Class 101 heads away from the station an passes a new unit on its way in. Gordon Thomson.

18th May 1987
Having strayed from their native Yorkshire - in practice, they had a fairly wide sphere of operation which saw them travel as far north as Darlington on occasions - Class 110 cars E51829 + E52066 are seen surrounded by Class 143 Pacer units at Newcastle on 18/05/1987 . Graeme Phillips Collection.

16th September 1987
Set: C590
Cars 51087 59040 53847 are seen awaiting departure from the then platform 5 at Newcastle with an evening commuter service, 16/9/87. The front car is Class 119, the other two are Class 116. Adjacent in the then platform 4 are Mk 1 coaches (distinguishable from DMU stock by the window frames and Commonwealth bogies), probably a locomotive-hauled Pacer substitution - these were invariably three coaches in length, and their positioning relative to the DMU suggests a locomotive may be 'trapped' at the buffer stops. Graeme Phillips Collection.
22nd September 1987
Set: C591
Class 119 DMS(L) E51102 with Class 116 cars 59364 and 53856 stand in what was then platform 7 (now platform 1) of Newcastle station. Surprisingly, the car number can be seen to include the E-prefix - at a time when the regional prefixing was being abandoned - yet the former Cardiff Division set formation number C591 has been left on the front of the cab. Graeme Phillips Collection.

Set: C591
Left: Class 101 DMBS E53250; Right: Class 119 DMBC 51059, seen at Newcastle on 23/09/1987. Class 143 Pacer problems in the north-east saw an influx of first generation DMUs to Heaton (HT) depot in the weeks leading up to the October 1987 timetable change (05/10/1987), including vehicles of Classes 116, 118 and 119 – none of which had previously operated anywhere near the north-east – as well as some rather tatty Class 101s from diverse regions. These unusual types were eliminated from the area by Spring 1988 when loco-haulage restarted. Graeme Phillips Collection.

Set: C316

The destination blind reads Ystrad Mynach, shortly after a member of railway staff had turned it to a blank position to avoid the confusion of the travelling public. Graeme Phillips Collection.
