The vehicle is mentioned in the following images:
Date: 28th July 1975
A Class 124 Trans-Penning unit seen at Selby on 28/07/1975. Apparently still in original 6-car formation, including Buffet car with red stripe at cantrail level, it is entering the station as what would have most likely be a Hull - Manchester / Liverpool TransPennine service (the headcode has an M in the second position, confirming a Midland region destination). Leading car is E51962, followed by 51982. Graeme Phillips Collection.
Date: November 1979
Hybrid BR Swindon Class 123/124 four-car DMU made of E52105, E51982, E59767 and E51962 awaiting departure at Manchester (Victoria) on a service to Hull (Paragon), 11/79. Hugh Llewelyn.
