The vehicle is mentioned in the following images:

DMU

Date: 20th August 1974

Helsby Junction 20/8/74. A Class 101 2-car on the 10.10 Chester - Man Vic, with Class 116 3-car suburban unit 50093,59000,50062 on the Hooton branch service. My notes on the print say it stayed for a month on this service. Anthony Griffiths.

All the buildings on the left bar one (Dunns Photographic) have been swept away and the up platform re-sited behind the photographer. Set TS510 is closest, presumably 50067 + 59010 + 50093.
