17th August 1971
A three-car Class 104 trailer brake second set is seen at Romford with the 14:10 to Upminster on 17 August 1971. Closest is noted as E50547, it has no yellow first class (unlike the far DMCL) suggesting it has been downgraded to a DMSL. Robert Thomas.
1977
A four car Class 104 unit, led by DMC(L) E50547 departs York with a service to Huddersfield in 1977. The second vehicle is TS(L) 59199. Graeme Phillips Collection.
