Class 100 DMU at Romiley

Unknown date

A Class 100 DMU at Romiley - the station can be seen just past the junction- on the line to Woodley and Guide Bridge. Date unknown, likely early 1980s. Manchester is on the destination blind and the number of the DMBS looks like it could be M50351 - the temporary repair to the headcode is interesting! Stuart Mackay Collection.

Class 100 DMU at Llandudno

4th July 1981

50351, a Gloucester class 100 DMBS easily identified by the partial number on the headstock, awaits it's next run to Blaenau Ffestiniog. Once a grand station Llandudno station has fallen on hard times, gradually taken apart as it's structure weakens. The centre drive that once had fine horses and carriages in it now plays host to a Rail Express parcels Commer van and a Hillman Avenger. It is 15.50, 04/07/1981. Geoff Dowling.

Class 100 DMU at Manchester Piccadilly

26th May 1982

The demise of my beloved Deltics was something of a shock to me. I resolved to buy myself a decent camera and capture as much as I could of the railway network before it all disappeared. This was one of my early attempts….. …..I managed to straighten it up in Photoshop but can’t do much about the composition! Having grown up with the Scottish Gloucesters, I was more than a little pleased to see this arriving at Manchester Piccadilly on the 15:13 ex New Mills, 26th May 1982. M50351 was the leading car - note the partial number on the buffer beam.
