53327 + 53314, formerly part of set L842, as tractor units for 975010. Despite this departmental use after withdrawal they were never issued with numbers in the departmental series. Seen at Cardiff Central on 21 October 1998. Robert Thomas.
The former Reading allocated three-car 101 set L838, now branded L991 but still formed DMBS 53308, TCL 59125 and DMCL 53331 and still in NSE livery apparently in passenger service at South Gyle on 22/May/1993. It seems to have a Scottish destination blind and is attached to another set but I'm not sure what the working was. Later that year the set was transferred away from Haymarket, reduced to two cars and renumbered 960991 for sandite use. Robert Chilton.
RDB977693/4 "IRIS 2" seen in action at Rye on 6th November 1998. Steve Carter.
A row of Met-Camm DMUs at Doncaster Works during the open day on July 12, 1992. Does anyone know what vehicles formed set LO236? 53268 on the left would emerge in Regional Railways livery as part of set 101694. Alex Drennan.
The 15:03 ex-Carlisle is seen at Leeds on 27 June 1992. The DMBS is 51427, it is presumably running with 54380, the pair had been Norwich set 55 and were transferred to Longsight earlier in the month becoming set LO239. John Carter.
On a dull Saturday evening of 11th July 1992 53202 stands at the rear of a four car set in platform 12 at Manchester Victoria, the other vehicles being 52059+53926+54050. Not a particularly good picture but it records one of the Manchester area parliamentary services that operated at this time, this one being the 20:10 Manchester Victoria - Ashburys. Ian Hazlehurst.
Longsight class 101 set LO241 formed DMBS E53202 and DTCL E54050 arriving at Manchester Victoria. The vehicles still retained their 'E' prefices and Metrotrain logos from their earlier allocation to Leeds Neville Hill, and 53202 also still appears to bear a Norwich set number '70'. Robert Chilton.
Class 101/108 hybrid DMU set LO241 (53202 and presumably 54203) on Chester depot on 24 January 1993. John Law.
53202 in Manchester Piccadilly on 11 February 1993 as part of set LO241, yet still with a set number and destination blind from a prior allocation to Norwich. David Bellamy.
Complete with its West Yorkshire MetroTrain PTE branding, Manchester Longsight Set L0241 was stood at Hooton with the 12.08 to Chester on a damp February 25th 1993. The nearest car was Class 101 Driving Motor Brake Second E53202, the other is a Class 108. The set was one of many to get an extended lease of life and a shuffle from one side of the Pennines to the other to cover for the then ailing and unreliable almost new Class 142 Pacer fleet. The third rail from Rock Ferry along the former LMS/GWR main line was extended to Hooton in 1985, with a DMU providing a connection at Hooton for the eight mile run to Chester. The third rail was eventually extended from Hooton to Chester in 1993. Martyn Hilbert.
In the days before electrification, a Class 101/108 hybrid two-car DMU with a scabby-looking ex Eastern Region Class 101 E53202 at the rear, was stood in platform 7 at Chester with a service to Hooton on February 25th 1993. E53202 still retained its Norwich set '70' in one of the cab windows. The unit was one of many life-expired First Generation DMU's kept in service to provide cover for the then problematic Class 142 fleet. Martyn Hilbert.
Transferred from Norwich Crown Point, E54399 formed with E51218 still have their 'E' prefices on their numbers and Norwich set number 51, and judging by the blank destination, probably still have their NC blinds fitted. Seen at Manchester Piccadilly on 16/Jul/1992. Robert Chilton.

Class 101 DMBS 53203 at Manchester Oxford Road on 2 February 1993 with set number LO243 and older 87. David Bellamy.

LO247 54060 + E53208 on 2H08, the 17:26 Manchester Piccadilly to Macclesfield at Cheadle Hulme, 4-6-93. The set number is in tiny black letters in the usual place, but it still carries it's previous set number of 88 in the center window. Kevin Dowd.
53165 at Chester on 16 June 1992. David Bellamy.
Class 101/108 Hybrid LO 344 arrives at Manchester Piccadilly on May 17, 1991. Formed of 53203 + 59387 + E53164, the former has Norwich set number 87 still showing on the window. Nicholas Youngman.
Preston station in May 1990 and unit LO347 contains two DMBSs, with 53216 nearest the camera, the other two vehicles are presumably 59303 + 53294. John McIntyre.
Set LO357 comprises two Met-Camm DMBSs and a Class 108 centre car when seen at Manchester Piccadilly on March 8, 1991. Closest is 51177, presumably with 59390 + 51253. John Carter.
