DMU

Date: 9th August 1988

Two Norwich based Metro-Cammell class 101 units leave Cromer, the 3 car set on the right (53267, 59079, 53177) is heading to Norwich, whilst the 2 car set following (51213, 54065) is bound for Sheringham. 9th August 1988. Andrew J Crowther.

DMU

Date: 20th June 1992

Set number: T054

The 10.12 Stratford-upon-Avon to Leamington Spa service on 20 June 1992 was made up of class 116 vehicle 53838 leading followed by Class 101 53267 as I pictured it going slowly around the curve from Hatton West Junction into platform 3 of the station. The leading vehicle had recently received a high(ish) intensity headlight to supposedly increase visibility for those working on the track. The up main line had just been relaid and re-ballasted and it looks as if a few yards of the branch had had a bit of spare material dropped around it. Peter Tandy.

DMU

Date: 14th July 1992

Set number: T054

Tyseley Set T054 waits in the bay platform at Grantham with a service to Skegness on 14th July 1992. This unit was a hybrid set, with Class 116 53838 leading and Class 101 53267 at the rear.
