A Swindon Trans-Pennine set arrives into Leeds station on the 11 March 1978 formed of E51963 (rear, closest) + E59767 + E51981 + E51953. Ian Francis.

DMU

Hybrid BR Swindon Class 123/124 four-car DMU made of E52105, E51982, E59767 and E51962 awaiting departure at Manchester (Victoria) on a service to Hull (Paragon), 11/79. Hugh Llewelyn.

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. Gerard Fletcher.

DMU

Date: 25th January 1982

E51958 + E59767 + E59839 + E51951 arrive into Leeds on January 25, 1982. John Carter.
