circa 1957

A Derby Heavyweight DMU with E56033 closest (and presumably E50033) on Stratford Works circa 1957. Stuart Mackay Collection.

The vehicle is mentioned in the following images:

---

Date: circa February 1957

E50033 (and presumably E56033) appears to be brand new when seen at Stratford, judging by the condition of the buffers, lack of blinds, and Leyland 680 engines. Date unknown, they were delivered in February 1957. Stuart Mackay Collection.

Date: 8th March 1982

Plain blue E50010 is partnered with refurbished E56033, sitting next to blue grey E56015 at Sheffield Midland on 08-03-82. The HST is 43168, Cravens 56472 is on the right. Vincent Haworth.

Date: 17th May 1982

For a time in around 1982 the 17.10 Cambridge - Peterborough local was booked for a Lincoln based dmu set, rather than a Norwich one. Here a hybrid liveried Lincoln Class 114 set with E50010 nearest the camera trailing and E56033 passes Norwood Road on its way to Whittlesea and Peterborough on a rather overcast 17th May 1982.

E53015 + E54033 with a York - Sheffield service at Moorthorpe on August 13, 1983. John Carter.

Date: 29th November 1987

On Sunday 29th November 1987 Lincoln Based Class 114 Diesel Parcels units (closest are probably 53024 (oval buffers) + 54033) are seen departing from Ipswich Station. Why? We had no duties for Parcels Units from Lincoln into Ipswich and certainly no Parcels units diagrammed to visit Ipswich on a Sunday. AndrewHA.
