With Tyseley in Birmingham and Manchester Longsight Depot having small allocations of the remaining class 100 DMU vehicles by 1981 it was somewhat surprising to see this hybrid set formed of a class 100 DMBS and a class 101 DMC or DTC coupled behind the more usual class 120 "Swindon cross country" set on the Central Wales line. The train is departing north from Llandrindod Wells with the 10.10 Swansea to Shrewsbury on Friday 29/05/81. Adrian Nicholls.
A Class 100 set seen at Guide Bridge on the 22nd June 1981 with an unusual marker light arrangement on the DTS, presumed to be 56105. Bill Read.
Carrying 'Stourton Saloon' in the centre cab window, 975637 + 975664 are seen in York station in July 1981. Stuart Mackay Collection.
50351, a Gloucester class 100 DMBS easily identified by the partial number on the headstock, awaits it's next run to Blaenau Ffestiniog. Once a grand station Llandudno station has fallen on hard times, gradually taken apart as it's structure weakens. The centre drive that once had fine horses and carriages in it now plays host to a Rail Express parcels Commer van and a Hillman Avenger. It is 15.50, 04/07/1981. Geoff Dowling.
A Class 100 DMU passes Guide Bridge during August 1981. Curly42.
An unexpected discovery at Whitby on August 27th, 1981, was the Class 100 York Saloon (ADB975349 and ADB975539). It was parked in a bay platform that saw very little use. John Carter.
M50342 and a Class 105 DTC leave Stalybridge on the 3rd September 1981. Malcolm Clements.

GRC&W set M56105 + M50350 working with a Met-Camm when seen in Sheffield on September 3, 1981. John Carter.
With "Handbrake Off" painted on the side, there seems little intention of using 50343 again when seen at Tyseley on 8/11/81. It had in fact been withdrawn in September that year. Chris Lings.
A cold night at Shirley station, pausing briefly is a very mixed unit on the 18.41 Birmingham Moor St - Stratford-upon-Avon, 8/12/1981. With Class 100 DMBS M51119 on the rear with set number TS414, the other two vehicles are presumably Class 101 59543 and Class 100 DMBS 51110. Geoff Dowling.

The demise of my beloved Deltics was something of a shock to me. I resolved to buy myself a decent camera and capture as much as I could of the railway network before it all disappeared. This was one of my early attempts….. …..I managed to straighten it up in Photoshop but can’t do much about the composition! Having grown up with the Scottish Gloucesters, I was more than a little pleased to see this arriving at Manchester Piccadilly on the 15:13 ex New Mills, 26th May 1982. M50351 was the leading car - note the partial number on the buffer beam. Brian McDevitt.
Longsight Lash-up on the Shuttle. Not THE celebrity pairing which lasted a few more years, but this is another Gloucester / Cravens hybrid set on the Stalybridge to Stockport shuttle entering Guide Bridge in June 1982. Here we see M51115 paired with M56465, both of which started their lives in Scotland at Leith Central and Kittybrewster respectively. They were both withdrawn by the end of the year. Murray Liston.
M51110 leading a mixed 3 car set, TY 414, which should consist of Cl 100-M51110, Class 101- M59543, Class 105-50812, the last two vehicles having had their first class downgraded to second class only. Birmingham New St, 28th June 1982. Paul James.
Tyseley set TS524 comprising Gloucester Class 100, M51119, Class 116 TCL M59009 and Cl 116 DMS, probably M50103, arrive in platform 1 at Birmingham New St, 30th June 1982. Paul James.
