Class 101 DMU at Ayr MPD

2nd May 1978

Refurbished late in 1976, DMBS 51470 is stabled on Ayr MPD as part of a 3 car unit. In regular service conditions the white and blue livery, which denoted refurbished units at the time, was found difficult to keep clean so units concerned were repainted into blue and grey livery and the stylised GG 'Greater Glasgow' emblem did not last very long either. 51470 was withdrawn in April 1988 and scrapped by MC Metals in Glasgow during October 1989. Bob Woolnough.

Class 101 DMU at Carlisle

circa 1979

Refurbished Met-Camm set 175 in platform 7 of Carlisle station circa 1979. It will have arrived on a service from Scotland via the G&SW route. John Law.
