A Metro Cammell class 101 3 car unit rasps through Haymarket station as a member of the staff takes a well earned rest prior to the next Waverley bound arrival. 25th April 1983. Haymarket station has been completely transformed in recent times, rightly so given the volume of traffic it handles as Edinburgh's second station. Would be nice to journey through it again in a 101 though. Bruce Galloway.
The 16:25 Hull - Bridlington service leaves Cottingham on 26th April 1983. E56369 is the leading vehicle of a pair of two-car Class 101s, presumably with 51230.

The 06:45 Kirkcaldy to Inverkeithing service on 5 May 1983, which continued unadvertised as a workers’ service to Rosyth Dockyard. DMS Sc50144 leads car, the remainder are three further Metro Cammell vehicles (one still in blue) and two bubble cars. Taken at Naval Base Junction on what was once the North Queensferry Branch. This was where the line into Rosyth Dockyard diverged from the North Queensferry Branch. The line to North Queensferry fell into disuse in 1954 but the box remained to control the convergence of the double line from Inverkeithing South Junction which became single line beyond here and to provide access to both Caldwell’s Paper Mill and Ward’s Shipbreaking Yard (via the line in the foreground, which also gave access to Cruicks Quarry which dispatched ballast by rail until the early/mid 1980s). Naval Base Junction signal box closed in 1964, replaced by a ground frame, when the double track between here and Inverkeithing South was singled. Brian McDevitt.

Someone has one of the doors partially open already, even though the train has half the platform still to travel! Andrew Walker.

DMBS M51190 leads a Class 101 formation at Rhyl on 15/05/1983 with a Manchester Victoria-Llandudno service. The second vehicle has a narrower grey band around the windows, which considerably alters the appearance, making it look more like a Class 108 at a glance. Graeme Phillips Collection.
