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.

Class 101 DMU at Barnsley

15th August 1988

Set number: 29

A Sheffield-Leeds DMU approaches Barnsley station on 15th August 1988. The era of the DMUs was fast drawing to a close at this time, the Class 101 was formed of E51524 + E51454. Andrew Walker.

Class 101 DMU at Snailwell

12th September 1990

51524 at Snailwell on 12th September 1990. It had spent most of its career based in Scotland, the final years were at Neville Hill. Nicholas Youngman.


The vehicle is mentioned in the following images:

DMU

Date: 16th February 1979

55014, one of the ScR class 122's that were in use as parcels cars (class 131) at that time, is seen on Eastfield depot on a cold 16.2.79. Class 101 DMC 51524 in GG PTE colours is stabled behind it. Leonard Rogers.

DMU

Date: 7th April 1983

A GG Trans-Clyde branded Class 101 seen in Gloucester Sidings on 7 April 1983. Eastfield allocated SC51454, SC59562 and presumably SC51524 were likely en-route back to the Scottish Region after overhaul at Swindon. Stuart Mackay Collection.

DMU

Date: 16th August 1988

Set number: 328

51454 with 51524 departing Leeds for Sheffield on 16 /Aug/1988. The pair had recently been transferred from Scotland where they were part of a three-car set and, without the centre trailer, saw out their days based at Neville Hill. 51454 still bears it's ScR set number 328 although the vehicle number prefix has been changed to 'E', somewhat surprising as late as 1988.
