A Class 101 DMU in Whitby station on 2 May 1983. Brian Daniels.
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.

A Class 101 passes Ouston Junction, Birtley, Co. Durham southbound down the East Coast Main Line in pre-electrification days, on 20/06/1983, with the 18:58 Newcastle-Durham local service. The trackwork to the right is the junction to the Consett steelworks: the original photographer remarked that track rationalisation was evident in this view. Graeme Phillips Collection.
