The vehicle is mentioned in the following images:

Date: 5th September 1983

Set number: 95

A 3 car Class 101 DMU departs Norwich Thorpe on an ECS working to the depot on Monday 5th September 1983. Driving Motor Composite E53181 leads Trailer Brake 2nd E59095 and another Driving Motor Composite E53168. The Trailer Brake 2nd, E59095, is one of only 28 such vehicles constructed out of a total of 760 Metropolitan Cammell DMU vehicles and began life in late 1957 as part of a 4 car set based on Tyneside. The day after I had scanned this view, I acquired a DVD entitled “Old Dunfermline From the Air”. Imagine my surprise when one of the scenes depicted a 3 car Metro Cammell DMU at my childhood local station, Dunfermline Lower, including one of those Trailer Brake 2nds. Brian McDevitt.

Date: 12th November 1986

Set number: 94

Notice the RETB aerial mounted above the secondman's windscreen. This was fitted for working the East Suffolk Line from Ipswich - Lowestoft in the mid 1980's. Nigel Mack.

Set number: 100

Class 101 DMU set No. 100 (51508 + 59095 + 53181) stands at Saxmundham working the 12:55 Lowestoft to Ipswich service on 20 August 1990. It can be hard to tell which power car is which in these Norwich TBSL sets but this is an easy one when it contained these vehicles as 51508 has the orange cantrail stripe, 53181 didn't. Also 51508 has mid-level vac pipes, 53181 had high level ones. Brian Creasey.
