Following a very dull Autumn day, a gash in the cloud cover as the sun was setting provided some dramatic lighting as Class 101 two-car set 101682 (53256 & 51505) was stood at Romiley with the 16.24 Manchester Piccadilly to Sheffield service on October 14th 2000. Although in BR Regional Railways livery, the well-worn looking 42 year old DMU was actually part of the First North Western Class 101 fleet, then based at Manchester Longsight Depot and seeing out their last days on services from Piccadilly to Marple, Rose Hill & Sheffield. The 101's staggered on until the final five sets were withdrawn from service on Christmas Eve 2003. Martyn Hilbert.

Three Class 101 DMUs undergoing maintenance at Longsight TMD. Date unknown, but the two Strathclyde sets means it is after July 2000, and probably soon after as the cab front of 51192 (101 693, closest) would gradually deteriorate until withdrawal in December 2003. Next to it is 53268 (101 694). Spannerman37025.

51253 (101691) standing at Alderley Edge prior to returning to Manchester Piccadilly. For those of us sad enough to be combing over the 101 fleet towards the end of their operations, this working was a bit special as the (electrified) line out to Wilmslow from Manchester didn't have many 101 services. Chris Moxon.
