Met Cam DMU E50235 at Doncaster in February 1976. David Scott.
E50235 sets next to Peak 45 130 in Sheffield station on the 30th April 1977. Vincent Haworth.
Met cams 50235 and 50178 at Norwich. 9 July 1980 ANDREW SALES.
Class 101 set 98 in Lowestoft station in 1983. Graeme Phillips Collection.
Viewed through various bits of railway clutter, a Metro-Cammell Class 101 set with E50235 leading passes Gilberdyke junction on it's way to Hull on 5th April 1983. The semaphore arms were at this time located on short posts at the end of the Gilberdyke up platform. These signalled trains travelling along the up relief line and were replaced with more conventional signals when the quadruple lines were removed in the late 1980s. Syd Young.
A Class 105 DMU at Lowestoft, c.1981, heading for Ipswich. Class 101 DMC E50235 is on the left. Graeme Phillips Collection.
