A Metro Cammell class 101 3 car unit rasps through Haymarket station as a member of the staff takes a well earned rest prior to the next Waverley bound arrival. 25th April 1983. Haymarket station has been completely transformed in recent times, rightly so given the volume of traffic it handles as Edinburgh's second station. Would be nice to journey through it again in a 101 though. Bruce Galloway.

First DMU to Huddersfield, 1983 The Sheffield to Huddersfield service was re-routed to travel via Barnsley from 9th May 1983 and this is the first DMU to operate the service in the Huddersfield direction arriving at Barnsley station that morning. Someone has one of the doors partially open already, even though the train has half the platform still to travel! Andrew Walker.

By 1982, north-east local services were solidly in the hands of Class 101s allocated to either Heaton (Newcastle) or Darlington depots, the Class 104s and 105s having departed by 1981. The next DMUs to arrive were the new Class 143 Pacers from 1985. This pair of Class 101s seen passing at Battersby on Friday 20/05/1983 will most likely have been allocated to Darlington depot, which closed in 1984. Graeme Phillips Collection.

The special DMU service run by BR for Coalville Open Day on Sunday 5th June 1983 was a splendid opportunity to travel along the Leicester-Burton Upon Trent freight line through my village of Kirby Muxloe which I did that afternoon. Earlier I photographed the 2 x 3 car Met Cam sets on the 0928 ex Burton from Gullet Lane bridge as it heads SE toward Leicester with the house rooves of Lime Grove & Wilshere Close on the left. Kirby Muxloe Station was just out of sight around the bend in the distance. There were a couple of DMU sets out, all reversing at Knighton South Junction as the direct north curve into Leicester London Road had been lifted years before. This line was originally double track & singled in the early 1970s, by now the remaining line had been slewed to the centre of the alignment. John Simmonds.
View of the yard between the station and works at Doncaster with class 101 DM(S or BS) E53??6 (cannot quite make out the number), class 105 unit and class 124 DMC visible. Also in view is withdrawn class 306 unit 049. Sunday 5th June 1983 Iain Reid.

A two-Car Class 101 passing the site of West Silkstone Junction with a Huddersfield to Sheffield train 13th June 1983, the route of the closed Worsborough Incline is to the right. The bridge on the right is the one used for the exchange of the £175,000 ransom money by Michael Sams in 1992 before he made his escape along the old trackbed. Keith Long.
