Diagrams (Workings)

These defined the trains a unit would work every day.

Over the years different regions gave these different names: diagrams, programmes, workings etc.

South Gosforth February 1957

Met-Camm DMUs were introduced to Newcastle - Carlisle and Hexham services on 4 February 1957. The PDF contains details of a "Temporary Ferrying Service" which was the movement of DMUs between Gosforth Sheds and Scotswood Bridge Sidings until the latter is "adequately equipment for the maintenance of diesel units". Cleaning was done at the Scotswood Sidings except when the units required putting through the mechanised washer at Gosforth Sheds.

The sheets also contain the diagrams, which also included the Newcastle - Middlesborough services operated by Derby Lightweights since November 1955, in two forms, Carriage Workings (PDF pages 5-10) and Locomotive Workings (PDF pages 11-14).

The scans are courtesy of John Whaley, whose grandfather was the Shed Master at the time.

Bury June 1957

These are the cyclic workings for the seven Met-Camms and one Derby Lightweight allocated to Bury depot. Most are Bury - Bacup and Bary/Bacup - Manchester Victoria services, they make the odd trip to Broadfield, Mossley, Rochdale, Royton, Stalybridge and Wigan Wallgate.

ScR East Coast Division early 1960s

This is a set of sheets covering the diagrams for the different DMUs allocated to the East Coast Division of the Scottish Region. This included Leith Central, Dundee and Kittybrewster depots. The earliest date is May 1960, but many sections have been reissued for later dates.

Page numbers 50 to 76 are not included, it is unknown whether they were not part of the DMU diagrams or are missing.

Sadly, these images were taken with a camera phone many years ago when they were somewhat primitive, so the quality is not great.
