March 1971
March 1971. Half a century ago I persuaded my dad to lend me his Practika camera and I took my first two railway photographs. I don't know the exact date, but I recall it was just before my twelfth birthday. I'd been a "spotter" for a few years and although I had an Instamatic camera, for some reason I hadn't pointed it at trains, apart from an attempt at capturing Flying Scotsman in 1968, an abject failure due to forgetting to wind on the film. On this visit to Botanic Gardens shed in Hull, I decided to give it a go. There are two pairs of green EE Type 2s (Class 20 in new money) along with a mixture of DMUs (Met-Camms and a Trans-Pennine DMC in blue/grey), all of which was regular fare for BG. The locos are stabled on what were once the running lines to Hull docks and the seaside resorts of Hornsea and Withernsea. These lines closed completely in 1965. Syd Young.
10th March 1971
The 12.50 Cambridge - Ipswich is seen at Cherry Hinton level crossing, near Cambridge, on 10 March 1971. Met-Camm DMBS E51222 leads, paired with a Cravens DTCL. The traditional gates have now been replaced by lifting barriers. The house on the extreme right was part of the short-lived station (closed in the 19th century). Tom Burnham.
April 1971
A shot from April 1971 when I attended a wedding in Edinburgh that gave me a chance to check out Waverley station. The sun shone both on the ceremony & on this Stirling-bound Class 101 diesel multiple unit passing the signal box at the east side of the station. It seems empty and so likely coming from Leith Central depot, the leading vehicles seems like it might be SC51807. Pete LG99.

A hybrid DMU set arrives into Dovercourt Bay station on 3 April 1971 formed of Class 101 DMBS 50152 and Class 100 DTCL 56307. Nicholas T Smith.
24th April 1971
The SRPS Ayrshire Railtour at Waterside on 24 April 1971 formed of a three-car Met-Camm DMU, the rear car being SC51528. The station had closed in 1964. Roger Geach Collection.

South-Gosforth allocated Class 101 DTC E56220 carries Tynerail stickers with the name "Coffy Johnny" when seen in Carlisle station with a Newcastle service on Tuesday 1 June 1971. Alongside English Electric Type 4 Class 50 no. 445 is on 1P38 (a Euston stopping service). Ed Fulton.
27th June 1971
Sunday 27/06/1971 at Whitby, and the main station platforms are filled with a total of eight DMU vehicles of classes 101 and 108. The Class 101 DTC on the left is from the small batch of twelve sets the that had the mounting plate for the top marker light (but no top light). The leading Class 108 vehicle on the right is E50623, which was allocated to 52J / South Gosforth, Newcastle, at the time. It carries Tyne Rail graphics on the cab front and also the body side, and these incorporated unofficial vehicle names, which, in the case of E50623, was 'Cushie Butterfield'. For a full list of all the short-lived names, click the link to Graeme's flickr page. Graeme Phillips Collection.

September 1971
A three-car Class 101 Met-Camm DMU in Kirkcaldy station in September 1971. With the driver reading his newspaper this is likely a Kirkcaldy-Edinburgh service rather than a Dundee-Edinburgh working. Alistair Ness.
