circa 1971
A Trans-Pennine DMU, E51967 closest and rearward vehicles still on green, in York station, thought to be circa 1971. On the right is Derby Lightweight single car route learner DB975010. Stuart Mackay Collection.
15th March 1979
A general view of the northern end of Selby station on 15th May 1979. A Trans-Pennine set, with E51967 leading, eases over the Ouse swing bridge before calling in with a Hull - Manchester Piccadilly service. Still plenty of railway-related detail around, along with a full cycle shed. The occupants of the house on the right will no doubt be bracing themselves for the next Deltic-hauled service to shake them to the core. Syd Young.
circa late 1970s/early 1980s
A four-car Class 123/4 DMU (E51967 closest) with a Met-Camm attached at the far end, seen at Scarborough circa late 1970s/early 1980s. Stuart Mackay Collection.
