The vehicle is mentioned in the following images:
Date: 10th July 1978
A 3-car Rolls-Royce powered Met-Camm Class 111 set (51542 + 59106 + probably 51552) in Selby station on the 10th July 1978. Malcolm Clements.
Date: 25th January 1981
A Class 111 DMU (51542 + 59106 + 51552) in York station on 25 January 1981. Scarborough is on the destination blind. Rob Paterson.
Date: 20th September 1981
On the bright afternoon of September 20th 1981, a variety of dmus grace Sheffield station. The identity of the Class 108 in the middle background is unknown,on the left in the shadows is a Trans-Pennine set with E51964 at the front, while out in the sun is a sparkling Metro-Cammell Class 111 three car set : E51552 + E59106 + E51542. Gerard Fletcher.
Date: circa 1985
Set number: TS603
The Saturdays-only Paddington to Stratford-upon-Avon DMU, unusually formed of set TS603, 2 class 116 cars sandwiching a Met-Camm trailer (the vehicles are presumably M51136, M59106 and M51149), rather than the usual 6 cars. Taken from the platform at the south end of West Ruislip, date unknown. Someone has changed the destination board to Birmingham Moor Street possibly to ready it for work the following day. I doubt if this caused too much confusion at least until the train reached Leamington Spa! David Ive.
Date: 1985
Set number: TS603
A Birmingham cross-city working with the normal driving cars, but with a Metro-Cammell class 111 trailer inserted (presumably 51136 + 59106 + 51149). 1985. Ian Docwra.
