RMweb Premium Simon Lee Posted January 3, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 3, 2011 Hi all, Just spent some time browsing Fotopic sites and found this :- http://davesyorkshirerailwayarchive.fotopic.net/p65199126.html The third vehicle is of interest being a Trans Pennine MBS. Having conversed with Pennine MC, neither of us can recall ever seeing a formation of this type before. Is isn't a stock transfer as such as there is no other brake vehicle in the formation. Ive certainly seen 5 car Pennine formations with a DMC replaced with another driving vehicle usually a Met Camm 101 motor car. Anyone else ever seen a Pennine "inner" used in such a way.

RMweb Gold DaveF Posted January 3, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 3, 2011 Simon, It's one of my late father's photos on my fotopic site, and I'd never noticed the coach in question! All I'd seen was the different lining on the Class 101 vehicles. I have had a quick look at both his and my photos and cannot find any other examples, though we never took many photos in that area. It is certainly an ordinary service train as it has passengers in it, clearly visible on the original scan. David Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
45125 Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Looks more like a BRCW TBSL to me, its not long enough for a Pennine, plus battery box in wrong place is another give away. Al Taylor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sc59401 Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Spoilsport Must admit I saw what I wanted to see, the profile makes it look longer but now you mention it, the roof vents are very 104-ish and the leading vehicle is a Class 111, given away by the 4-character headcode.
