Three-car Class 101 DMU set (P)822 in Exeter St Davids on 4 October 1991. DMBS 51210 is closest, there is another DMBS at the far end, 51210 is recorded as running with 59539 + 53253 at the time as set P831. Stuart Mackay Collection.
I paid my first visit to the Exmouth branch on 5 October 1991 - another "Network South East Day". I travelled on the 12.45 Exeter St David's - Exmouth, formed of Class 101 set P821 (53216 + 59303 + 53294), seen here after arrival at Exmouth. Lewis Bevan.

A two-car Met-Camm DMU set in NSE livery (L222, presumably 51438 + 54382) is seen working the 08:27 (SO) Kings Lynn-Cambridge on 19 October 1991. Robert Thomas.
Ex-works 101 657 (53211 / 54085) working the 11:43 Piccadilly - New Mills, seen at Romiley on 19/10/91. Gazza Prescott.
I went to Ely on 19 October 1991, partly to photograph "Taw Valley" and "Flying Scotsman" on specials and partly to record the semaphores that would soon be disappearing. An additional image included a couple of Class 101 2-car sets at Ely. The set on the left is 101655 (formed 54062/51428), but I didn't record the set on the right. It looks like the set number is L221, which I think at this time was 51208/54402. Lewis Bevan.
Set L225 (54220 + 51222) seen at Littleport. The unit was stabled on the Ely side of the gates in order to free the platform for the next up working from Lynn. These were special working arrangements during resignalling blockades at Ely. The driver would then have a cuppa in the Signal box while waiting the next duty back to Lynn often an hour and a half break. 26th October 1991. Nicholas Youngman.
Sandite vehicles 977896 + 977895 at Carlisle after arrival from Edge Hill Depot, Liverpool, prior to working back south, 27/10/96. Spannerman37025.

Badger Railtours was a niche provider operating tours in East Anglia and I believe was run by a group of BR employees at Bishops Stortford raising money for local charities. They ran several tours in the early 1990's and covered some illusive branches such as that seen here to Duxford. The "Fletton Avoider" railtour operated with 2x3-Car class 101 DMU sets with set L700 (53296+59115+53207) seen here leading at the dry chemicals reception sidings in Duxford Ciba-Geigy Works on 2 November 1991. This short branch to Duxford left to the West Anglia mainline south of Whittlesford station. Ciba-Geigy were heavily reliant on the wagon load Speedlink Network so much of their rail activity stopped when BR pulled the plug on Speedlink. The site is now owned by Huntsman Chemicals and retains a rail connection but has been disused for many years. Adrian Nicholls.
101676 (51803 + 51205) waiting to leave Rotherham Central on its way to Sheffield on 6 November 1991. David Bellamy.

A Met-Camm DMU sits in the platform at Nottingham on 25 November 1991 with DMBS 53208 closest. In one of the centre roads a Class 116/101 hybrid set T032 (53073 + 53242). Dave Warby.
Looking towards the station at Cosford from the road bridge a short way to the west of the station this image shows ex-Strathclyde class 101 T076 (53241 + 51224) working a Shrewsbury to Wolverhampton train on 29 November 1991. The shot looking towards Shrewsbury is equally interesting with a nice bracket signal but at this time of the year the cutting is too heavily shadowed for a picture on a sunny day. Peter Tandy.
Class 101 DMU set L831 (presumably 53265 + 59072 + 51211) in London Liverpool Street station with the Branch Line Society Orwell and Lea Rambler railtour on 30 November 1991. Stuart Mackay Collection.
