A Class 101 DMU formation is seen boarding platform 1 at Doncaster with a service to Cambridge in the early/mid-1970s. The leading vehicle is Class 101/1 DMC(L) no. E50750, which was allocated to Norwich Thorpe depot (coded 32A then NR) between August 1972 and October 1975, so this is the likely time period for this image. Graeme Phillips Collection.
E53750 + E51436 form set 93 when seen in Leeds station on the 14th March 1988. Malcolm Clements.
Class 101 DMBS 53750 at Snailwell on May 31, 1989. E59078 is on the left. Nicholas Youngman.
Wintry Habrough. A Met Camm twin set halts at Habrough on a Barton-upon-Humber to Cleethorpes working in the winter of late 1987. We see here E51436 which was reallocated from Cambridge to Neville Hill at the beginning of the year and is still displaying its Cambridge set number 14. It is paired with E53750 which was similarly wearing set number 93 from its days at Norwich, which ended a couple of years before this photo. Murray Liston.
Departing a rainy Leeds for Sheffield, E51436 is at the rear of E53750 on 14/3/88. Malcolm Clements.
