14th April 1979
Class 101 at Clayton West 14 April 1979. I'm glad that I was able to get here prior to closure. I had come up from Sheffield, via Deepcar in those days rather than Barnsley, and had a 45 minute wait at Shepley for the branch train from Huddersfield. I could have gone further north and then retraced my steps but I didn't want anything to go wrong with a missed connection which might scupper my plans. As it was the branch clung on to life for another years before closure. Alistair Ness.

A visit (my only one, so far) to Ilkley on 5 May 1979. I travelled on the 10.27 from Leeds, formed of Metro-Cam Class 101 2-car unit 56385/50202, and this unit is seen departing from Ilkley on its next working back to Leeds, past Ilkley signal box. Ilkley Junction box, which dated from 1913, was closed as from 11 July 1994 in the run-up to the electrification of the line. According to Wikipedia "Ilkley is notable in that it was the last British Rail station to be lit by gas. The gas lights were extinguished for the last time on 8 May 1988." Lewis Bevan.

Class 101 set 204 Rosyth Dockyard Station 19 May 1979. A DMU shuttle was usually operated from Edinburgh in connection with the annual Royal Navy Open Day which we used to good advantage. At this time there was still a train for dockyard workers that was unadvertised in the public timetable beyond Inverkeithing which ran each weekday morning from Kirkcaldy and intermediate stations and back again in the evenings.
