25th February 1993
Set: LO241
Complete with its West Yorkshire MetroTrain PTE branding, Manchester Longsight Set L0241 was stood at Hooton with the 12.08 to Chester on a damp February 25th 1993. The nearest car was Class 101 Driving Motor Brake Second E53202, the other is a Class 108. The set was one of many to get an extended lease of life and a shuffle from one side of the Pennines to the other to cover for the then ailing and unreliable almost new Class 142 Pacer fleet. The third rail from Rock Ferry along the former LMS/GWR main line was extended to Hooton in 1985, with a DMU providing a connection at Hooton for the eight mile run to Chester. The third rail was eventually extended from Hooton to Chester in 1993. Martyn Hilbert.

Set: LO241
In the days before electrification, a Class 101/108 hybrid two-car DMU with a scabby-looking ex Eastern Region Class 101 E53202 at the rear, was stood in platform 7 at Chester with a service to Hooton on February 25th 1993. E53202 still retained its Norwich set '70' in one of the cab windows. The unit was one of many life-expired First Generation DMU's kept in service to provide cover for the then problematic Class 142 fleet. Martyn Hilbert.

23rd March 1993
"Lab 19 Iris II" might sound like a specialist wing of the Porton Down Experimental Establishment but this was in fact the name of a DMU converted in 1991 from a power twin Metropolitan-Cammell class 101 unit (units 53222-53338). Rebuilt by the Research & Development Division of British Rail at Derby as a test train, it was initially used for radio survey work particularly with the National Radio Network (NRN) and later for video survey work including extensive signal sighting on the WCML prior to the introduction of 125 mph. Bearing the BR Research's silver and grey livery, it is seen passing through London Bridge station on 23 March 1993. Withdrawn and stored at Derby's Railway Technical Centre, it was sold by Network Rail to a private buyer in early 2008. After a short spell at Dunster station on the West Somerset Railway, it was moved to the Barry Tourist railway. Gordon Edgar.

6th April 1993
Set: 101653
You can almost hear the rattle and buzz as Regional Railways Met Camms 101653 pulls away from Oulton Broad North heading towards Norwich on 6 April 1993. The mechanical signal with sighting board can be seen behind the unit, with the signal box to the right, and a telegraph pole ahead of the unit. The prominent building behind the unit, the George Borrow Hotel, is now a pharmacy but is thankfully still present, while the front of Pope Brothers garage can be seen on the left; this has since closed with a small estate of houses built on the land. The access road is named George Close, after one of the garage owners. The vehicle closest to the camera, DMBS 51426, was scrapped but DTCL 54358 would be preserved. Chris Boon.
