Images:
April 1971
A shot from April 1971 when I attended a wedding in Edinburgh that gave me a chance to check out Waverley station. The sun shone both on the ceremony & on this Stirling-bound Class 101 diesel multiple unit passing the signal box at the east side of the station. It seems empty and so likely coming from Leith Central depot, the leading vehicles seems like it might be SC51807. Pete LG99.
circa 1979
Set number: 185
Class 101 DMSL SC51807. No other details are known, but the livery means it's no earlier than 1978. It's possibly on Works, the vehicle behind is a plain blue Class 101 DTSL. Image by http://www.the-transport-photo-interchange.co.uk. Stuart Mackay Collection.
