A Class 101 runs through Aberdeen station with SRA/SLS branchline special on 26 May 1973. The power cars are 50254 (closest) and 50264. John McIntyre.
A Class 101 DMU in Dalmally station with DMBS SC50254 in view, ready to depart for Oban. On the other side is 5361 with a southbound service. Peter James.
Oban station on Saturday 1 September 1973. 5353 is on the right, the Class 101 DMU on the left is thought to contain power cars 50254 and 50264. Peter James.
On 26 August 1979 the Branch Line Society ran a tour from Dundee to Brechin. This line closed to passengers in 1952 and eventually to all traffic in 1981. In 1993 a small section of the line at the Brechin end opened as a preserved railway. I believe the formation of the train to have been 50254 + 59303 + 50144. Jeremy Chapter.
Class 101 (50254 + 59303 + 50144) at Brechin on 26 August 1979. The BLS ran the Tayside Railtour a last journey along the branch from Kinnaber Junction to Brechin which started from Dundee on a Sunday morning. Here we are at the buffers of what is now become Caledonian Railway Preservation Society's nicely restored station. Alistair Ness.
27017 rolls into Haymarket platform 2 with 2L40, the 12.17 Edinburgh to Dundee, as Met-Camm 3 car unit 101301 (presumably 50254 + 59305 + 53144), forming 2G17 11.38 Kirkcaldy to Edinburgh, waits to leave. 25th April 1983. Bruce Galloway.
DMC 53254 from 101301 and a batch of suburban vehicles at Snailwell on 4th September 1988. Nicholas Youngman.
A Class 101 is piped into Aberdeen Waterloo station with a SRA/SLS branchline special on 26 May 1973. Waterloo had ceased to be a passenger station over 100 years earlier but had continued as a freight depot. The power cars are 50264 and 50254. John McIntyre.
A Class 101 DMU awaits 5361 to arrive into Dalmally station so that it can continue its journey to Oban on Saturday 1 September 1973. This is very likely to be SC50264, as SC50254 is at the opposite end. Peter James.
Met-Camm set 199 arrives in the Fife station of Kinghorn in July 1979. 50144 leads, presumably with 59303 + 50254. Alan Rintoul.
The BLS ran the Tayside Railtour a last journey along the branch from Kinnaber Junction to Brechin which started from Dundee on a Sunday morning, 26 August 1979. Here the Class 101 DMU (50144 + 59303 + 50254) sits at the platform awaiting the return journey. The station is now part of the Caledonian Railway Preservation Society. Alistair Ness.
Met-Camm DMU 50144 + 59303 + 50254 at Brechin with the Branch Line Society 'Tayside Railtour' on August 26, 1979. Jeremy Chapter.
