51952
13th April 1982
In an age when railtour participants were deemed to be able to use their common sense, Trans-Pennine class 124 DMU with Motor Composite E51952 leading stands (an hour late) at Bevercotes Colliery with the RCTS "Bevercotes Collier" railtour on 13 April 1982. Some may recognise that the bearded gentleman in the foreground is the late General Secretary of the Branch Line Society, Norman ("Gas") Hill. The cabs were designed by E G Wilkes (who also had influence on the Glasgow "Blue Trains" and the units were built at Swindon Works in 1960. Trans-Pennine services commenced in January 1961.

Taken on the 26th May 1982, an iconic class of DMU leaves Manchester Victoria with the 15:45 Manchester Piccadilly to Hull. M51952 leads a four car set which was probably formed of a mix of Class 123 and 124 vehicles. Always had a bit of a soft spot for these as they reminded me of my favourite EMUs, the Glasgow “Blue Trains”. Brian McDevitt.

Trans Pennine DMU at Sheffield, 7 February 1983. It had obviously been through some good Trans-Pennine weather on its journey to Sheffield! Closest appears to be E51952. Tony Watson.
2nd September 1983
Set: 52
E51952 has a freshly painted front end when seen at Brough on the rear of a Trans-Pennine service to Hull on 2nd September 1983. The repainting had been done at BG after a minor bump. The window rubbers, normally left black, were painted as they had a fair amount of paint on them already. The unit has the number "52" hand-painted on the front, 51961 and 51964 also had numbers painted on the front end. It has had red bulbs installed in the old headcode panel, presumably to prevent damage to the nicely painted lamp-brackets! Syd Young.
