A six-car Met-Camm formation emerges from Grosmont Tunnel with the 1.20pm Goathland-Whitby service on 1 August 1958. Both sets are former four-car sets reduced to three-cars with the removal of the TSL. E50182 leads - note the number on the lamp bracket under the driver which seems to read 39 - these were common on NER sets at the time - a diagram or set number? The very rear car is E50749. Michael Mensing.
Metro-Cammell Class "101" Local Passenger "power twin" 2-car dmu Nos.E50182 + E50252, both of the 1957 batch, in Rail Blue livery with all yellow front ends, at Whitby Town having just arrived on a service from Darlington via Middlesbrough and Battersby, 03/76. Hugh Llewelyn.
Metro-Cammell Class 101 power-twin E50182 + E50252 at Whitby Town having just arrived on a service from Darlington via Middlesbrough and Battersby in March 1976. Note the number on the lower body to the right of the cab door - possibly 'No 454', something that could be found on other vehicle in the area at the time. Hugh Llewelyn.

On September 9, 1978, British Rail Eastern Region organised a return trip from Darlington to Eastgate, as far as one could reach on the Bishop Auckland to Wearhead line, and which had lost its passenger service in 1953. The trip was marketed as the "Rail Journey into Yesteryear". Part of this line is now operated as the Weardale Railway. The Metro-Cammell 4-car set was formed 50182 + 59068 + 59113 + 50171, and is seen at Eastgate. Jeremy Chapter.

The occasion was the 150th Anniversary of the opening of the Stockton & Darlington Railway. There was a procession of steam and diesel locomotives running from Shildon Works yard to Aycliffe and on to Darlington. Graeme Phillips Collection.
