The 06:45 Kirkcaldy to Inverkeithing service on 5 May 1983, which continued unadvertised as a workers’ service to Rosyth Dockyard. DMS Sc50144 leads car, the remainder are three further Metro Cammell vehicles (one still in blue) and two bubble cars. Taken at Naval Base Junction on what was once the North Queensferry Branch. This was where the line into Rosyth Dockyard diverged from the North Queensferry Branch. The line to North Queensferry fell into disuse in 1954 but the box remained to control the convergence of the double line from Inverkeithing South Junction which became single line beyond here and to provide access to both Caldwell’s Paper Mill and Ward’s Shipbreaking Yard (via the line in the foreground, which also gave access to Cruicks Quarry which dispatched ballast by rail until the early/mid 1980s). Naval Base Junction signal box closed in 1964, replaced by a ground frame, when the double track between here and Inverkeithing South was singled. Brian McDevitt.
Class 101 units on Dundee depot on the 15th April 1984. Nearest the camera is set 101363 consisting of Sc53144 + Sc59049 + Sc53746. Kevin Law.
Set 101363 at Stirling on 23/05/1984. Car numbers are 53144 + 59049 + 53746. The leading car unusually retains the central marker lights (top and bottom) and the top one even looks like it might be switched on, though there is no glass lens - both these central lights were usually removed upon refurbishment. The full length uninterrupted cantrail rain strip suggests the vehicle has been refurbished. Graeme Phillips Collection.
SC53144 at Snailwell on 1st July 1990. Nicholas Youngman.
Class 101 DMU set 225 (50145 + 59109 + 51244) departs from Dundee with the 11:20 for Edinburgh on 24 February 1979. The DMCL has bars on the passengers door from it's time at South Gosforth, and would be withdrawn a few months after this image in July 1979. Derek Hoskins.
SC53146 is seen in the platform at Rosyth Dockyard as part of a shuttle running for the open day on June 16, 1984. On the left is a 107 on 'The Tay-Forth Venturer' railtour. Hamish Stevenson.
Three-car Met-Camm DMU set 101 321 departs from Glasgow Central circa 1986. The leading car is presumably 53146. Mike Bunker.
101321 (presumably 53146 + 59542 + 51249) departs from Edinburgh Waverley 11 March 1986. Notice how the set number is also carried on the end of the centre car. Stuart Mackay Collection.
Ayr TMD allocated Class 101 set number 101321 formed of Class 101 DMCL 53146 nearest camera, TCL 59542 and DMBS 51249 all in Strathclyde PTE orange / black livery have just arrived in Platform 11 at Glasgow Central Station on the 4th June 1986 and have stopped next to a former LMR based Class 120 3 car set set in Platform 10 operating an Ayrshire service for the coast. Bob Woolnough.
101321 (53146 + 59542 + 51249) form the 20:02 to East Kilbride in Glasgow Central on 7 August 1986. Stuart Mackay Collection.
101 321 passes another 101 at Haymarket. Date unknown, 53146 closest. Andrew McConnell.
101321 (presumably 53146 closest) at Dunlop on the 12.45 Glasgow Central - Kilmarnock, 23-11-1987. A futile attempt to take a shot in poor light. This looks like the train's heading into the sunset - actually it was the middle of a cold November day. The sun glints on the rails ahead. This was once double track. The area on the right became totally overgrown. To the left (the old goods yard) is now housing, with an obscenely high fence totally hemming in the platform. In 2009, the line from Stewarton to Lugton was re-doubled, and this view of Dunlop station has been totally transformed. It is now a twin track station again, and benefitting from a half hourly service between Kilmarnock and Glasgow. Gordon Thomson.
On 14 April 1991 former Strathclyde class 101, now Tyseley set T078 with 53146 + 51249 were calling at Nottingham station while working an eastbound train. The destination blind is blank so I have no idea of the destination but either Lincoln or Skegness are possibilities. Most of the waiting passengers were clearly waiting for a later train as none seem to be moving towards the DMU. Peter Tandy.
101 321 (presumably 53146 closest) heads up Cowlairs incline away from Glasgow Queen Street on 8/7/89. It's been stripped of almost all of its roof ventilators. John Reddyhoff.
Strathclyde PTE liveried Class 101 set 101321 prepares to leave Glasgow Queen Street with a Dunblane service on the 6th February 1990. The driver is boarding DMS 53146. Mike Cooper.
Set 101 321 seen in Glasgow Central on the 1st August 1990. It was formed of 53146, 59542 and 51249. Graeme Phillips.
53146 + 51249 (T078) are seen at Rose Hill with the 14:23 to Piccadilly, 21-2-91. Kevin Dowd.
Class 101 set T078 (presumably 53146 + 51249) seen in Llandudno Junction on the 29th May 1991. Hamish Stevenson.
Class 101 DMU set T078 (presumably 53146 + 51249) on the Skegness line at Firsby on 29 June 1991. A 31 can be seen in the distance, it looks like it has a headboard so possibly on a railtour? Stuart Mackay Collection.
One of the more colourful units to arrive at Stratford-upon-Avon was this ex-Strathclyde class 101 (T078, 53146 + 51249). I saw it on the morning of 1 July 1991 but was unable to get out of the office during the day to record it on film. However, it stuck to diagram and is pictured here leaving the Warwickshire terminus in the company of Class 117 T310 still in corporate blue and grey. The Tyseley unit unit number appears to been applied in a rather amateurish fashion, as does the paint covering the front-end damage - the colour there is more akin to the bodyside shade rather than the normal yellow. Still, I suppose that this were the final months of DMMU workings in the area, so it probably wasn't worth spending too much on the cosmetic appearance of local trains. Peter Tandy.
