4th July 1964, and little more than a year to closure for many of the Lanarkshire rural branches. The 1:15 PM (SO) from Glasgow Central to Strathaven is comprised of a Met-Camm 101 and a Cravens 105 as it calls at Stonehouse. David Pearson.
4th July 1964 and the clock is ticking on services in rural Lanarkshire. Here the 1:47 PM to Glasgow Central awaits departure from Strathaven, led by a 101 with a 105 behind. David Pearson.
8th July 1964 sees a five car 101 formation waiting in the bay at Leuchars to depart for St. Andrews. This is believed to be an additional or augmented service for that year’s Open. David Pearson.
8th July 1964 at St. Andrews finds a 101 there, possibly in connection with that year’s Open. David Pearson.
8th July 1964 sees this 101 at Anstruther. Contrary to the destination blind, this is believed to be the 2:42 PM from Dundee Tay Bridge to Edinburgh Waverley - It is believed that the Anstruther destination was used to dissuade passengers going to Edinburgh from taking this slow service through the East Neuk. Anstruther was a passing loop, but apparently the points at the East end had been plain lined meaning that Westbound trains went through the station on the Eastbound line then reversed into the station so that an Eastbound train could pass. David Pearson.
Thornton Junction, 8th July 1964. The 3:33 PM from Edinburgh Waverley is operated by a 101 and has terminated in the bay having come via Dunfermline Lower, while another 101 on the 3:43 PM from Edinburgh Waverley heads off in the distance to continue on to Carnoustie having come via Kirkcaldy. David Pearson.

Two two-car Met-Camm sets above Boddin Point, on the approach to Montrose, working the 4.15pm Perth - Montrose service on July 15, 1964. DMBS Sc51249 leads, at was based at Dundee and carries set number 62 in one of the cab windows. Michael Mensing.

With signs that the station reconstruction has began, a Met-Camm triple set arrives into Birmingham New Street on August 8, 1964, led by M50310, with the 1.34pm ex-Lichfield. Note that neither of the power cars is carrying the BR crest. Michael Mensing.
Two ex-works Met-Camm vehicles at Newcastle on 26 August 1964 probably en-route to South Gosforth. What is curious is that the DMCL kept the original lining while the DTCL has the revised lining. At some point there must have been a change over between the two. Could E50138 have been the last to be repainted with the original style, and the other the first with the revised style? Tony Lambert.
A Met-Camm DMU in Portobello station on 1 September 1964. This was possibly an Edinburgh - Musselburgh service, which would run for the last time a few days later on the 5th and this station would close. Stuart Mackay Collection.
A Met-Camm DMU in Kirkintilloch station on 2 September 1964, a few days before closure. The DMBS at the fare end is thought to be SC51447, if it is in its normal formation then SC51517 should be closest and the centre car SC59545. Stuart Mackay Collection.
A three-car Met-Camm, SC51447 closest, in Kirkintilloch station with a Glasgow Queen Street service on 2 September 1964. Its normal partners at this time would be SC59545 + SC51517. Stuart Mackay Collection.
