DMU cars E50030 and E56030 have arrived at Mablethorpe with the 13.56 from Willoughby on 7 March 1970. Tom Burnham.
Nottingham station on a wet and windy 2nd August 1978. This 2-car Class 114 dmu has just arrived with service from Skegness. I had arrived in Nottingham about 40 minutes earlier on the 09.35 Carlisle-Nottingham, hauled by 45 037, and was awaiting the 15.10 Nottingham-St Pancras (45140) to take me to Leicester. The Class 114 was formed 50044/56030. 50044 was new in March 1957, when it was allocated to Lincoln (40A). It stayed at Lincoln until October 1987, when it was transferred to Tyseley (TS). It was withdrawn from service at TS in October 1991 (during the Sprinter Revolution) and was scrapped by Mayer Newman at Snailwell. 56030 was new, also to 40A, in January 1957, and stated at LN until withdrawal in January 1986. 56030 (by then renumbered to 54030) was scrapped at Berry's yard in Leicester. Lewis Bevan.
