The vehicle is mentioned in the following images:
Date: 12th March 1976
Set number: L711
1976 was famous for the amazing Summer but March was a bit grim as seen on the 12th at Cardiff. L711 is arriving (presumably 52091 at the front), in the set was 59823 and completed the set for me! Remember when they kept dmu's together? The loco, by deduction, is probably 47504. It doesn't really matter at this distance in time. It's Cardiff and it's 42 years ago! Arnie Furniss.
Date: 28th March 1984
Class 123/124 hybrid set E52103 + E59823 + E59838 + E51951 leaves Doncaster with a Hull-Manchester Piccadilly service on 28th March 1984. Kevin Law.
