12th May 1968
A GRC&W twin set at Cromer station on 12 May 1968. That month the Eastern Region had received a batch of these sets moving from Leith Central to Cambridge. The DTCL shows signs of its Scottish background - the yellow first class stripe, the set number and the 'G' on the yellow panel. These were normally applied on top of the blue squares, but photos show that the blue paint used for the squares would often wash off on these sets. George Woods.
16th April 1974
Norwich DMU set number 75 is formed of a Class 100 DTCL (thought to be 56316) and a Class 101 DMBS (presumably 51213) on 16 April 1974 when seen at Woodbridge with the 14.55 Lowestoft - Ipswich service. Stuart Mackay Collection.

The driver of this Sudbury bound class 104 DMU at Chappel & Wakes Colne on 7th June 1980 seems to be making a rude gesture at the photographer as he arrives at Chapel & Wakes Colne on 7th June 1980! E50596 presumably leads. Bob Belcher.

Woodbridge station, Suffolk on 9th June 1980 with a Class 104 unit (presumably E50596) arriving on a service to Ipswich. Bob Belcher.
