Class 101 DMU at Princes Street Gardens

26th May 1979

Set number: 197

Refurbished Class 101 DMU set 197 (presumably 51534 + 59564 + 51460) passes through Princes St Gardens on 26 May 1979. Stuart Mackay Collection.

Class 101 DMU at Haymarket depot

11th July 1981

Set number: 101334

Class 101 DMU at Princes Street Gardens

August 1987

Set number: 101366

A hybrid DMU seen entering the east portal of Haymarket Tunnel in August 1987. A Class 101 DMSL is closest (thought to be 51534), the centre car is a Class 104 TBSL and should be 59215. Alistair Ness.


The vehicle is mentioned in the following images:

DMU

Date: 22nd July 1987

Set number: 101366

A hybrid class 101/104 set standing at Stirling on 22/7/87. It is labelled as "101 366", though technically it should have been 104 366, since the class of the brake vehicle determined the class prefix in ScR set numbers. It will depart at 18.05 to Edinburgh. The nearest vehicle is 51528 and the TBS is 59215; though the furthest-away vehicle was not identified definitely, it is likely to be 51534. Leonard Rogers.

DMU

Date: August 1987

Set number: 101366

A 3-car DMU smokes through Princes St Gardens in August 1987 on an Edinburgh to Glasgow via Falkirk Grahamston stopping service. Class 101 power cars SC51528 and 51534 are sandwiching class 104 TBS 59215, originally part of a 4 car set and which was reallocated north from Neville Hill in 1982 and withdrawn at the end of 1987.
