E50346 at March on a very damp August 17th 1979 in ex works condition with domino style headcode display. After this hasty (and somewhat blurred) photo had been taken, I went down to the platform where further scrutiny revealed a paint date of 29/7/79. It was paired here with a rather less sparkling Cravens trailer, E56114, they were working the 17.10 Cambridge to Peterborough service. Gerard Fletcher.

A Class twin seen just south of Newport station, between Bishops Stortford and Cambridge, in the early 1970s. The DMBS (furthest), presuming it is also carrying set number 69, should be E51120. Walter Burt.

A GRC&W twin set in Hunstanton station in January 1969, one vehicle in green and one in blue. The DTCL shows signs of its recent transfer from Scotland - the G on the blue square, the set number on the yellow panel (which seems to read 71) and the first class yellow stripe. It also looks as if is still has an Sc prefix to the vehicle number. Cambridge had five of the first batch (top marker lamp) DTCLs on this date. Tom Burnham.
Two sets, both formed of a Gloucester (100) DMBS and a Cravens (105) DTCL, pass in the station throat at Norwich. Set 71 (100 facing) is on the right, berthed presumably for fueling, with set 65 (105 facing) on the left approaching the station. Whilst a Class 31 can also be seen in the background on the left, the main reason for the photograph is in the central background: 4771 "Green Arrow" setting off for a test run to Ely, following restoration to mainline running standards by Bill Harvey and members of Norfolk Railway Society. The loco never ran a railtour from Norwich in these times, being moved away immediately after restoration. Norfolk Wherry Trust.
