11th June 1991

Vehicle: 53198   Set: 101651

Bit of a mystery with this one ...... This is a freshly painted Met-Cam Class 101 Regional Railways 2 Car DMU set 101651 standing inside Coldham Lane Diesel Depot, at Cambridge. My notes say it is formed of 53198+54379, yet other sources suggest it is 53201+54379 - with 53198 being part of set 101652 both formed at Norwich in July 1991 ..... however this is ... 11th June 1991 - My personal belief is that the power cars were swapped sometime prior to July .... ? Nigel Mack.

Unknown Date

Cambridge Coldham Lane depot circa early 1980s, the DMUs present are Class 101s and Class 105s. Joint Line.

17th May 1981

Vehicle: 56382

circa late January 1960

Vehicle: 79614   

Accident damaged E79614 at Cambridge diesel depot. It had struck a lorry on an occupation crossing between Worlington and Isleham on the Mildenhall branch while working the 7.34am ex Mildenhall on 15 January 1960. The photo is undated but will have been taken soon afterwards. The location of the accident is sometimes given as "Freckenham crossing" which I translate as being Smith's occupation crossing No. 61 just west of Worlington Golf Links Halt. The lorry, which was destroyed, had three occupants of which two died at the scene and the third subsequently. This may suggest the DMU struck the front, i.e. cab, end of the lorry. The Mildenhall branch had a blanket speed limit of 30mph so the DMU would not have been travelling any faster. Darren Kitson Collection.
