Lots of Rail Blue at the east end of Sheffield Midland station on 28th May 1978 but not many passengers about. I suspect these two BR Derby Class 114 dmus are stabled between duties while the one on the far left (Metro-Cam Class 101) had just arrived from Doncaster. Pete LG99.
A refurbished liveried Class 114 dmu passes the 1950s Doncaster North signal box heading for Hull via the Great Central line which branches off the main line beyond North Bridge in the distance. 31st May 1978. Pete LG99.
Diesel multiple units (a Class 114 on the left, Class 120 on the right) stand in the former Midand Railway station at Lincoln St Marks on 31st May 1978 still fully semaphore signalled and complete with classic MR signal box. We had arrived on the 114 which is now signalled to return to Newark. Transfer between the two platforms was via a boarded crossing so despite appearances I am not in a position of danger! Through freight trains still ran beyond the High Street level crossing behind the camera. Opened in 1846 and closed in 1985, today St Marks is a shopping centre and although the station building has been incorporated into the complex little evidence of the railway's presence remains.

Minimal facilities at Barton on Humber on 29 June 1978; the class 114 DMU has arrived from New Holland Pier. E56004 appears to be closest. Kevin Lane.
E50015 is having its cab repanelled at Doncaster Works. It's also missing doors and sliding lights, so it's likely its refurbishment is in progress, dating it to circa July 1978. A 114 DTC is on the left. John Law.
