A Met-Camm DMU in Edinburgh Waverley station on 27 August 1966. The 2H suggests it has arrived on a service from Perth via Glenfarg. Alan Grange.
DTCL NE56075 is at the front of the 5.25pm Newcastle service awaiting departure from Carlisle on 29 August 1966. Michael Mensing.
An eight-car formation is seen at Abergele with the 3.22 Bangor - Crewe service on 30 August 1966. A Met-Camm twin leads, followed by a Cravens twin, another Met-Camm twin, and an unknown set on the rear. Stuart Mackay Collection.
Two two-car Met-Camm DMUs heading for Shrewsbury are seen south of Welshpool during September 1966. Michael Mensing.
A two-car and four-car Metropolitan-Cammell formation crossing Croxdale Viaduct over the River Wear south of Durham in September 1966. A driver trailer leads, its partner is the only one to still have the original style of lining. The second from rear vehicle is a buffet car. Michael Mensing.
This is Oldbury Station on the old LNWR line to Wolverhampton, today the modernised station is called Sandwell & Dudley. In this somewhat depressing scene from 1966 the canopy has been crudely hacked off to allow for electrification leaving the passenger no weather protection as they stood outside the run down wooded buildings. Heading towards Wolverhampton High level is a Metro-Cammell DMU. Image taken by Peter Shoesmith. Geoff Dowling and John Whitehouse Collection.
E51497 is the closest vehicle in a long Met-Camm formation in 55G shed (Huddersfield) shed on September 6, 1966. Stuart Mackay Collection.
Watched by a member of the station staff, a Metro-Cammell DMU calls at Coseley (Deepfields) with a Birmingham bound service from Wolverhampton. In this 1966 photograph the overhead wires are in place but surprisingly so is the canopy. The old station building is intact with quite a collection of sturdy barrows sheltering between the benches under shade of that canopy. In the platform are a comprehensive crop of wild flowers including lupins, I say "in the platform" because they seem to have escaped from what I assume was a flower bed on the right. A glance at the end wall reveals a poster of a young lady looking passionately up at her male companion, it would seem her hero has painted their house with 'Snowcem' a white cement paint made by The Portland Cement Company, how very romantic. Image taken by Peter Shoesmith, 25/09/1966. Geoff Dowling and John Whitehouse Collection.
A four-car Met-Camm set departing from Stockton-on-Tees on 27 September 1966 with the 4.35pm Middlesbrough - Newcastle service. The third vehicle is a buffet car, and at least the leading power car (which appears to be 51505) has a NE prefix to the vehicle number. Michael Mensing.
A Class 101 DMU is seen entering Gateshead East station, with a Newcastle-South Shields service, Wednesday 02/11/1966. Graeme Phillips Collection.
A row of DMUs, circa 1967 based on the liveries. SC51231 faces a Gloucester car and is paired with SC56383 which faces Cravens DMBS SC51484. All were allocated to Hamilton depot at the time, which seems to be where this was taken. Stuart Mackay Collection.
Met-Camm DTCL SC56383 on Hamilton depot, circa 1967. It is paired with SC51231, still in green, and faces Cravens DMBS Sc51484. Stuart Mackay Collection.
Darlington depot - full of green and blue Met-Camm DMUs, circa late 1960s. Graham Clark.
A Met-Camm twin in Machynlleth station with a Shrewsbury service. Undated, both vehicles are still in green but the new BR logo is in evidence on the station, so circa 1966 - 1968-ish? Stuart Mackay Collection.
In the late 1960s, a power-twin in mixed liveries is seen approaching Leeds City from the ex-Midland Woodlesford/Normanton route. The BR logo on the driver's door suggests the blue car had previously carried the early livery with small yellow ends. First class totems are visible in the windows of the saloon nearest the camera, but no yellow stripe is applied. Graeme Phillips Collection.
A Class 101 arrives into Greenock Central station with a Glasgow bound service. Probably taken in 1967, just prior to the electrics taking over. Stuart Rankin.
A Met-Camm and a Calder Valley set, approaching Harrogate from the south. Taken from a footbridge in The Stray park in January 1967. Image was from the Steve Davies Collection. Stuart Mackay Collection.
The scene looks timeless with the semaphore signals, gas lamp with wire to adjust the flame, train crew with the driver (seated) wearing his grease-top and enamel signs. The Metro-Cammell DMU, although with small yellow warning panels is in the early blue livery. This is the centre (now disused) platform at Kings Norton and the date would be 1966/67. Geoff Dowling.
A four-car DMU approaching Long Preston travelling towards Leeds. The power cars are Met-Camms, the closest with original lining has BUT 150hp engines, the rear car in revised lining appears to be a Rolls-Royce powered car. The centre cars are BRC&Ws, one in blue and one in green. Stuart Mackay Collection.
