The vehicle is mentioned in the following images:

DMU

Date: circa July 1960

An official image (probably NER publicity) showing a brand new Trans-Pennine DMU. E51951 is closest, presumably with 51968 + 59774 + 59765 + 51969 also visible, and the location seems to be Neville Hill depot where they were first allocated. British Railways.

DMU

Date: 24th December 1976

A class 124, by now reduced to four cars just (51955/51969/59765/51964), approaches Brough on Christmas Eve 1976 on a TransPennine working, the 11.47 Hull to Liverpool Lime St. Leonard Rogers.

DMU

Date: 12th September 1981

In happy days when Selby was on the ECML and Deltics still roamed freely, a Swindon built 'Inter-City' Class 123 Motor Brake Second (MBS) E52087 was bringing-up the rear of a Manchester Piccadilly to Hull service, awaiting departure from Selby on September 12th 1981. The former Western Region car had become part of a Class 123/124 'Transpennine' set allocated to Hull Botanic Gardens. The full four-car formation being E52087 (123), E59767 (124), E59765 (124) & E51964 (124). Martyn Hilbert.

DMU

Date: 20th September 1981

On arrival at Sheffield, I made my way to the other end of my unit and found the leading car was a genuine Trans-Pennine beast. The full set formation was : E51964 (seen here) + E59765 + E59767 + E52087. What a sad state E51964 presents here, it reminds me of a WD 2-8-0 in the final days of steam. These units ran in pristine condition in the early years. I do recall to this day though, the comfortable ride I enjoyed that day. 20/9/81.
