51329 at the front of set T317 (51329/59481/51314) stabled at New St at 14.30 on 10/4/93. This set formation was soon to be broken up but, at this time, the unit was still in its as-delivered formation, after almost 33 years. It was also the only complete class 118 to remain in service. Leonard Rogers.
53921 leads set T414 (53921/59592/59641/51880 on this day) waiting to form the 17.35 to Redditch at New St on 6/7/93. Leonard Rogers.
53116 at the rear of set T412, after arrival at New St as the 11.25 from Longbridge on 10/4/93. The set would reverse and then form the 12.06 to Redditch. On this day the other cars in the set were 59591, 59446 and 51860. At this time 53116 was approaching 36 years of service and would go on to achieve another two, all at Tyseley. Leonard Rogers.
Two days before Christmas in 1999 and the depot yard at Haymarket is full of second generation units of classes 150, 156 and 158, with new Turbostars in their National Express ScotRail livery in the background. Sitting forlornly in the centre sidings are the last of Haymarket's first generation DMU's, three class 117's, with two of them reduced to two car units and all now withdrawn. Leonard Rogers.
One of Haymarket's fairly recently acquired class 117's (unit 117 314, with 51394 trailing and nearest the camera) leaves the depot at 16.35 on 22/10/93, as ECS to Waverley station. It will, in all likelihood, then form an evening peak working to Fife. Leonard Rogers.

Class 116 set C317 (53911 closest) is seen at Pontypridd heading to Treherbert on 26 September 1987. Robert Thomas.
An e.c.s. working seen at Swansea on 17 June 1989 is formed of set S950 (53319 and presumably 59381 + 53926). Robert Thomas.
DMBS 53622 is closest in Class 108 DMU set B970 as it departs Abergavenny working e.c.s. off the 10:40 from Cardiff Central. Robert Thomas.
A DMU service from the valleys arrives into Cardiff Central on 21 April 1990 formed of two-car Class 108 set C977. DTSL 54273 leads, it had been allocated to Cardiff for six months but still had an M prefix to the vehicle number, and carries an old set number beneath. The DMBS is presumably 51419. Robert Thomas.
The retro-green Class 108 DMU set (53964 + 54247) sits in Sheffield station on 6 April 1991. It was a Neville Hill set on this date but still displayed traces of its former Chester set number. Robert Thomas.
A two-car Met-Camm DMU set in NSE livery (L222, presumably 51438 + 54382) is seen working the 08:27 (SO) Kings Lynn-Cambridge on 19 October 1991. Robert Thomas.
Class 108 DMU set S951 (53935 and presumably 52041) seen at Neath with the 06:27 Chepstow-Milford Haven service on 16 November 1991. Robert Thomas.

Metro-Cammell products new & old side-by-side in the carriage shed at Llandudno Junction on May 11th 1993. With a 27 year age difference, The two-car Class 101 with car 51245 nearest the camera, had been built in 1958, and in 1993 formed as part of Longsight set LO604. The 151 was a pair of units (151 001/002) constructed by Met-Cam at Washwood Heath as prototypes for a proposed new generation of DMU's in 1985. In the event, the order went to BREL for the Class 150/2 Sprinter fleet and the 151's remained as 'what-might-have-been'. Metro-Cammell later gained a 'consolation prize' order to build the 114 x 2-car Class 156 fleet between 1987 & 1989. The 151's were eventually renumbered to 151 003/004 and various schemes were put forward to re-use them, but following a period of outdoor storage at Crewe South, they were scrapped in 2004. Martyn Hilbert.
Withdrawn Class 08 08747 was stood with Class 101 Driving Motor Brake Second (DMBS) M51188 in the yard at Doncaster Works on July 12th 1992. The Class 101 DMBS went on to become part of Strathclyde liveried set 101694 that would eventually be transferred to Longsight Depot in Manchester, and was withdrawn in 2001. 51188 has survived into preservation at the North Norfolk Railway. Martyn Hilbert.
A pair of Longsight allocated Class 101's 101681 (51228 & 51506) & 101690 (51435 & 53177), had just left the WCML at nearby Farington Junction and were running along the 'Back Line' at Ward Street Lostock Hall, heading for the East Lancashire route at Lostock Hall Junction with the Sunday Only 08.35 Manchester Piccadilly to Carlisle 'Dalesrail' service on September 19th 1993. I think the Dalesrail only ran along here for this one season. They subsequently went on to Preston and reversed. Martyn Hilbert.
A well-worn looking Class 101 two-car DMU formed of cars M53231 & M54388 was stood at Bamber Bridge with the 16.27 Preston to Colne service on June 20th 1992. The set was allocated to Manchester Longsight Depot (101240) and this was the period when the remaining survivors of the first generation DMU fleet were kept in service due to the ongoing woes with the Class 142 Pacer fleet. Martyn Hilbert.
A Tyseley allocated Pressed Steel built Class 117 3-car Suburban DMU formed of cars 51413, 59509 and 51371, was passing under Watkin Lane bridge as it arrived at Lostock Hall with a Preston to Carlisle 'Dalesrail' service on July 2nd 1988. Complete with its Tyseley TS308 board in the offside cab window, the set was on temporary loan to Newton Heath during the period when the class 142 Pacer fleet was in a state of flux due to ongoing reliability issues, and before new class 150/2 Sprinters had arrived in sufficent quantities. This particular set was the last Class 117 to remain in operation on the national network, and following withdrawal in 1996, the driving cars were eventually converted as water jetting vehicles for use with Chiltern Railways and returned to BR green livery. They were finally withdrawn in 2015, and both cars have survived into preservation. Martyn Hilbert.
