March 1971. Half a century ago I persuaded my dad to lend me his Practika camera and I took my first two railway photographs. I don't know the exact date, but I recall it was just before my twelfth birthday. I'd been a "spotter" for a few years and although I had an Instamatic camera, for some reason I hadn't pointed it at trains, apart from an attempt at capturing Flying Scotsman in 1968, an abject failure due to forgetting to wind on the film. On this visit to Botanic Gardens shed in Hull, I decided to give it a go. There are two pairs of green EE Type 2s (Class 20 in new money) along with a mixture of DMUs (Met-Camms and a Trans-Pennine DMC in blue/grey), all of which was regular fare for BG. The locos are stabled on what were once the running lines to Hull docks and the seaside resorts of Hornsea and Withernsea. These lines closed completely in 1965. Syd Young.
The SRPS Ayrshire Railtour at Waterside on 24 April 1971 formed of a three-car Met-Camm DMU, the rear car being SC51528. The station had closed in 1964. Roger Geach Collection.
A very poor image of a Tyseley Class 101 passing the NCL depot at Lye on a morning Birmingham to Kidderminster working. May 1971 Andrew Cope.
Sunday 27/06/1971 at Whitby, and the main station platforms are filled with a total of eight DMU vehicles of classes 101 and 108. The Class 101 DTC on the left is from the small batch of twelve sets the that had the mounting plate for the top marker light (but no top light). The leading Class 108 vehicle on the right is E50623, which was allocated to 52J / South Gosforth, Newcastle, at the time. It carries Tyne Rail graphics on the cab front and also the body side, and these incorporated unofficial vehicle names, which, in the case of E50623, was 'Cushie Butterfield'. For a full list of all the short-lived names, click the link to Graeme's flickr page. Graeme Phillips Collection.
On 03/07/1971, what appears to be a power-twin Class 101 arrives at Penistone with a Huddersfield-Sheffield service. Graeme Phillips Collection.
