On 31/08/1975, a Class 101 formation (visible being 56398 + 51219 / 56072 + 50217 / 50182) is seen at Shildon forming a shuttle between there and Darlington. The occasion was the 150th Anniversary of the opening of the Stockton & Darlington Railway. There was a procession of steam and diesel locomotives running from Shildon Works yard to Aycliffe and on to Darlington. Graeme Phillips Collection.
The only detail on this slide was Heighington Crossing. Formed of four-car and three-car Class 101s with many heads out of windows, this could be on the day of the Shildon Cavalcade on 31 August 1975. Stuart Mackay Collection.
E50239 leads a twelve-car Met-Camm formation at Shildon 31 August 1975. These shuttles on the day of the 150th cavalcade ran to Darlington, and the November 1975 edition of The Railway Observer (p351) lists this formation as 50239 + 59087 + 59094 + 51505 / 50295 + 56075 / 51438 + 59573 + 59086 + 51506 / 56083 + 51209.

According to my notes, this is either E50248 or E56082 - I think it's the former as I can't see a First Class yellow stripe, which means that it is a Class 101/2 built by Metro-Cammell in 1957. It is waiting to form the 1410 South Shields to Newcastle on 9 September 1975, around six years before the line was closed for conversion as part of the Tyne & Wear Metro system. The line had been worked by third rail EMUs until 1963. Jeremy Chapter.

Bristol set B801 (presumably W51446-W59547-W51517) seen at Severn Beach in October 1975. Transferred from the Scottish Region in May of that year, the unit still seems to be awaiting a new roller blind whilst the doors to the first class sections carry prominent "1" markers. Steve Carter.
