Refurbished Class 101 DMU set 197 (presumably 51534 + 59564 + 51460) passes through Princes St Gardens on 26 May 1979. Stuart Mackay Collection.
Met-Camm set 199 arrives in the Fife station of Kinghorn in July 1979. 50144 leads, presumably with 59303 + 50254. Alan Rintoul.
The BLS ran the Tayside Railtour a last journey along the branch from Kinnaber Junction to Brechin which started from Dundee on a Sunday morning, 26 August 1979. Here the Class 101 DMU (50144 + 59303 + 50254) sits at the platform awaiting the return journey. The station is now part of the Caledonian Railway Preservation Society. Alistair Ness.
Class 101 (50254 + 59303 + 50144) at Brechin on 26 August 1979. The BLS ran the Tayside Railtour a last journey along the branch from Kinnaber Junction to Brechin which started from Dundee on a Sunday morning. Here we are at the buffers of what is now become Caledonian Railway Preservation Society's nicely restored station. Alistair Ness.
On 26 August 1979 the Branch Line Society ran a tour from Dundee to Brechin. This line closed to passengers in 1952 and eventually to all traffic in 1981. In 1993 a small section of the line at the Brechin end opened as a preserved railway. I believe the formation of the train to have been 50254 + 59303 + 50144. Jeremy Chapter.
Met-Camm DMU 50144 + 59303 + 50254 at Brechin with the Branch Line Society 'Tayside Railtour' on August 26, 1979. Jeremy Chapter.
Weak winter sun barely lights Met Camm set 199 (50144 leads) as it departs from Cupar forming 2L36 1125 Edinburgh to Dundee on 29th November 1980. The goods yard is still intact at this point complete with provender goods shed and a couple of 12t vans. The town was formerly the county town of Fife and the agricultural nature of the surrounding district, together with the nearby sugar beet factory, would have brought much freight traffic to the station. As with much of the network, the freight facility has given way to the inevitable carpark although at least the signal box and it's semaphores still control the station. Bruce Galloway.
Class 101 set 20 on a 12XX Sudbury - St Botolphs head off the Clacton Avoider as it awaits to leave Colchester (at 13:30) on 9 June 1986. 51443 is closest, presumably with 54372. Colin Brooks.
Sc51250 at Kirkcaldy. Phil Bidwell.
One of the Class 101 Metro-Cammell sets that usurped the Pressed Steel monopoly on the Paddington local services in the 1980s. The unit (set L201, presumably 54070 + 51212) is seen outside the old carriage sheds at Old Oak Common, alongside one of the local Class 121 Pressed Steel 'Bubble Cars' W55023. Chris McKee.
Class 101 54070, set number 201, is seen at Tyseley on 07.02.1988. Andy Cole.

The front end of blue and grey two car Met-Camm class 101 set 201 (54070 + 51212) wasn't in the best of condition with several rusty patches showing when it was photographed just after leaving Kings Sutton station on 14 June 1988 while working an afternoon Oxford to Banbury local service. Within a few months it was repainted into full NSE livery and received an "L" prefix to the set number in line with other units operated by NSE. Peter Tandy.

Class 101 set 204 Rosyth Dockyard Station 19 May 1979. A DMU shuttle was usually operated from Edinburgh in connection with the annual Royal Navy Open Day which we used to good advantage. At this time there was still a train for dockyard workers that was unadvertised in the public timetable beyond Inverkeithing which ran each weekday morning from Kirkcaldy and intermediate stations and back again in the evenings.
