Unknown date

A Met-Camm triple set passes through Princes Street Gardens, date unknown. DMBS Sc51467 is closest, it was allocated to Leith Central at the time. It carries Edinburgh Waverley on the destination blind and the caption on the rear of the print noted it as an 'Up Kirkcaldy' service. Stuart Mackay Collection.

18th October 1969

RSS Railtour on 18/10/69 which used a Met-Camm DMU from Edinburgh Waverley & Return, seen at Denny station. Anon.

6th August 1974

Oban station on Tuesday 6 August 1974. The Class 101 on the left has DMBS SC51467 closest, 27043 is on the right. Peter James.

Class 101 DMU set 187 departs from Stirling with a Dunblane service on 27 October 1979. SC51467 leads, the DMCL is noted as SC51806. Brian Daniels.

14th March 1981

51467 at North Berwick on the 14th March 1981. Chris Lings.

Unknown date

Set number: 101339

Class 101 DMU set 101339 with SC51467 closest in Stirling station, date unknown. Paul Redmond.

2nd April 1984

Set number: 101339

Window cleaning momentarily interrupted, staff have a blether at Waverley. The Met Camm unit, with 51467 at the front, will shortly form 2C11 1103 Edinburgh to Cowdenbeath on April 2, 1984. Bruce Galloway.

9th July 1985

Set number: 101339

The first generation DMU's were renowned for oil leaks and copious exhaust as Springburn station bares witness with the black sticky oil soaked track and a sky full of smoke. ScotRail class 101 set 101 339 is seen departing with the 17.27 to Cumbernauld despite the station clock proclaiming its "11.10". When taken on 9 July 1985 the station was in effect the terminus of two passenger routes although the DMU is on a through mainline (the Garnkirk & Glasgow line built by the Caledonian Railway). North Clyde electric services to Milngavie via Queen Street Low Level using the bay platforms (the 303 behind the DMU). North of Springburn the "mainline" saw just one passenger train a day each way that being the West Highland Sleeper service which reversed at Cowlairs West Junction. Other than that its primary use was for freight and empty stock workings until the opening of the Cowlairs chord in 1992 which allowed the Cumbernauld trains to run direct into Queen St. Adrian Nicholls.

Class 101 DMU at Glasgow Queen Street Station

23rd July 1986

Set number: 101339

On the afternoon of the 23rd July 1986 a 3 car Class 101 unit sits in Glasgow Queen Street Station awaiting it’s next turn of duty. DMBS SC51467 leads the formation followed by TCL SC59554 with DMCL SC51532 bringing up the rear. It’s very quiet on the Platforms but with the clock above the leading cab showing just after 3pm I’m sure that won’t last very long. The rear 2 vehicles were scrapped by Vic Berry, Leicester SC59554 in October 1988, and SC51532 in July 1990, while the leading car SC51467 met it’s end at Snailwell during September 1990. Bob Woolnough.

11th May 1987

Set number: 101339

101339 (Sc51467 + Sc59564 + Sc51516) enters Wester Hailes station in Edinburgh, which opened that day - 11th May 1987, with the 18:18 Waverley - Glasgow Central. Hamish Stevenson.

August 1987

Set number: 101339

A Class 101 (set 339, presumably 51467 closest) at Burntisland in August 1987. Alistair Ness.

August 1987

Set number: 339

Met Camm and Castles at Burntisland. Met-Camm set 101339 (presumably 51467 closest) heads under the castellated bridge carrying West Broomhill Road as it approaches Burntisland with an Edinburgh to Dundee semi-fast service in August 1987. Murray Liston.

circa 1988

Set number: 101339

DMUs old and new in the DMU sidings at Haymarket depot circa 1988. 101339 has 51467 at the front, to its right are two single vehicles, the closest is a Met-Camm centre car (labeled set 306?). S Saunders.

23rd August 1988

Simultaneous arrivals are commonplace at principal rail termini, but such an occurrence was hardly expected at the remote outpost of Battersby. During the early evening of 23rd August 1988, the smartly dressed signal lady is poised to accept the single-line token from the arriving Whitby to Middlesbrough service, formed of Class 101 units 51467 - 53240, whilst arriving right on cue from Middlesbrough is the Whitby service, formed of Class 101 units 51515 - 51217. Rather sadly, the 1902-built NER Type C2b signal box was to close almost one year later, on 20th August 1989, when control was transferred to Nunthorpe signal box. Gordon Edgar.

11th March 1989

Set number: 101339

51467 + 51516, then allocated to Heaton (HT) depot, seen at Eaglescliffe, Teesside on 11/03/1989. In March 1989, due to major engineering work between Stockton and Thornaby, Newcastle-Middlesbrough services were being diverted to and terminated at Eaglescliffe (with passengers for Middlesbrough having to catch a Darlington-Saltburn service, of which there were two per hour). This is probably the 13:30 from Newcastle, which would have arrived and terminated at Eaglescliffe at around 14:40. Graeme Phillips Collection.

25th September 1990

Set number: 101339

51467 in Snailwell on 25th September 1990. Nicholas Youngman.

The vehicle is mentioned in the following images:

Date: 18th October 1969

A Class 101 at Calder station (Coatbridge) on the ex-LMS Airdrie Branch. This is an unnamed Railway Society of Scotland railtour on the 18th October 1969. The set contained 51467 (furthest vehicle), others unknown. Stuart Rankin.

Date: 18th October 1969

The stations on the destination blinds are being checked out - including Errol, Glasgow Buchanan Street and Ballater - during this railtour stop at Glenboig level crossing. An unnamed Railway Society of Scotland railtour on the 18th October 1969. The set contained 51467 (furthest vehicle), others unknown. Stuart Rankin.

Date: 18th October 1969

An unnamed Railway Society of Scotland railtour on the 18th October 1969, stopped at the closed Denny station so its participants can explore. The set contained 51467 (furthest vehicle), others unknown. Stuart Rankin.

Date: 18th October 1969

An unnamed Railway Society of Scotland railtour on the 18th October 1969, seen during a stop at Alloa station. The set contained 51467 (furthest vehicle), others unknown. Stuart Rankin.

Date: 15th May 1978

Set number: 187

A Class 101 formed of DMCL SC51524, TCL SC59562 and DMBS SC51467 call at a very peaceful Leuchars Station with an early afternoon service from Dundee to Edinburgh Waverley on the 15th May 1978. All had been refurbished in the white & blue colours and were allocated to Glasgow Eastfield MPD at this time running as Set 187. The central bay platform for the St Andrews branch which closed in January 1969 is clearly still visible. The white houses to the right of the image are part of the married quarters for RAF Leuchars which at this time was a very busy RAF Fighter Station. Bob Woolnough.

Date: 27th June 1981

Set number: 101339

101339 in Springburn station after arriving with the 17:35 from Cumbernauld. The vehicles were recorded as 51527 + 59562 + 51467. There is an old set number 180 in the left cab window. Stuart Mackay Collection.

Date: 30th March 1986

Set number: 116389

The Hertfordshire Railtours 'Highland Fling II' was primarily a loco hauled long weekend land cruise tour from London to Scotland but on Easter Sunday 30/03/86 there was a DMU tour aimed at enthusiasts rather than the wine and dine passengers. It left Edinburgh Waverley at 09.00 formed of 2x3-car DMU sets 116 389 (53825+59329+53873) and 101 346 (51467+59554+51532). The 3hr 20min mini tour was billed as going to RNAD Crombie, Longannet Power Station and the Inverkeithing north curve avoiding line. The traversal of the power station branch was as far as the signal box as the MGR loop was deemed too tight to take passenger stock without a risk of buffer locking. The branch to Crombie didn't have a photo stop but only reached Charlestown Foundry Level Crossing which was a quarter mile short of the line end at Braeside Jcn where the MOD took over. The tour then did the curve at Inverkeithing before returning to Edinburgh at lunchtime for most participants to rejoin the main t Adrian Nicholls.

Date: 11th May 1987

Set number: 101339

101339 (Sc51516 + Sc59564 + Sc51467) in Wester Hailes station in Edinburgh, which opened that day - 11th May 1987, with the 18:18 Waverley - Glasgow Central. Hamish Stevenson.

Date: 23rd August 1988

The peace of Battersby station is momentarily disturbed as Whitby and Middlesbrough Esk Valley services briefly meet and reverse. On 23rd August 1988, Metropolitan-Cammell Class 101 two-car units 53240 - 51467 and 51217 - 51515 form Middlesbrough and Whitby-bound services respectively. The surviving NER 1907-built water crane is a remarkable survivor. Gordon Edgar.

Date: 23rd August 1988

Metro-Cammell class 101 unit 51217-51515 forming an afternoon Middlesbrough - Whitby 'Esk Valley' service departs from Battersby Junction on 23rd August 1988. Unit 53240-51467 stands in the station forming a Whitby - Middlesbrough service. Gordon Edgar.

Date: 23rd August 1988

Date: 23rd August 1988

Simultaneous early evening arrivals at Battersby Junction and a rather well-dressed and certainly busy signal lady, 23rd August 1988. On the left 51515-51217 arriving from Middlesbrough, and on the right 51467-53240 arriving from Whitby. Gordon Edgar.
