In 1983 I went on a tour of all the mainline railways of Wales. Towards the end of the trip we found ourselves on the borders at Shrewsbury, and I took the opportunity of capturing this view of Shrewsbury cathedral over the River Severn. Also in view is the impressive LNWR Seven Bridge Junction signal box and, stabled in the sidings, a number of DMU sets - Class 101 and Class 120. Chris McKee.
On 2nd July 1983 a Met Camm 3 car unit (326 or 328) approaches Swing Bridge East signal box with local service 2H73, the 1440 Edinburgh to Dunblane. The slightly ornate box, located between Falkirk Grahamston and Camelon, controlled a bridge (of the swing variety - but you'd guessed that) over the Forth and Clyde Canal. Bruce Galloway.

A propped up derailed DMU at Midcalder Junction, circa 1983/4. The empty stock movement had been put into the Up Goods Loop on the Shotts line for the driver to change ends, the set was to form a service from Kirknewton Station to Edinburgh Waverley. The power cars are Class 107s, DMBS 51994 at the far end, the centre car a Class 101. David Keppie.
A Class 101 centre car being lifted back onto the track by the Haymarket breakdown train at Midcalder Junction, circa 1983/4. The DMU set had derailed on the trap points, the vehicle leaning on its side is Class 107 DMBS 51994. David Keppie.
A DMU working that started from Ely seen at Lynn Road Crossing Queen Adelaide just after 2pm on a weekday in August 1983. Nicholas Youngman.
York station in August 1983 when the through 'fast' lines were still in use. A Met-Camm diesel unit arrives into platform 9 via the down through line, a HST on the up through line, while a class 47 awaits departure from platform 8. Note the compressed air operated point motors. Paul Braybrook.

In the days before this rural North Norfolk branch line was known as the 'Bittern Line' a Norwich allocated Metro-Cammell 3 car class 101 dmu climbs away from Cromer with a Sheringham-Norwich service. Andrew J Crowther.
This is a seven-car DMU formation, made up of 2 x 2-car units (closest is thought to be a Chester set, the second has almost all roof vents removed) and 1 x 3 car unit (a 120/101/120 hybrid) arriving at Shrewsbury from the Wolverhampton line. This was possibly a Wolverhampton-Aberystwyth/Pwllheli working, and would spilt at Machynlleth or Dovey Junction. The steel coil wagon at the bottom of the photo was on the tail end of a northbound train headed by 47 290, and there is another Class 47 held at signals with a southbound freight, possibly another steel train. Lewis Bevan.
A mixed-livery Class 101 with a Tyseley set number (possibly TS408) with a blue/grey set on the rear passes Malago Sidings at Bristol. The slide process date was September 1983. Stuart Mackay Collection.
