Mirfield
With 56D Mirfield shed to the side to remind us steam had only just come to an end, Crewe-based English Electric Type 4 D212 Aureol (later 40012) speeds straight towards the camera with this mixed freight bound for the Calder Valley line and Lancashire. The engine survives today in preservation. A full page photograph is featured in RAIL Issue 970 (published November 16th, 2022).

The British Rail Class 108 two car, diesel multiple units (DMU's) were built by BR Derby from 1958 to 1961. In all, 333 vehicles were produced in various formats.
The units stayed in regular service until 1990, when they began to be withdrawn from traffic, to be replaced on regional services by new "Sprinter" units, or by "Turbo" units on services around London.
The final Class 108 units lasted in traffic until October 1993, although many saw further use in departmental service, as sandite or route-learner units. Good condition on withdrawal and a lack of asbestos has ensured that many of this class are now used on preserved railway lines.
This unit appears to be heading for Heaton depot in Newcastle, hauled by a Class 37 locomotive in the grey and yellow Departmental livery.

Despite seeing almost all of the trans-Pennines DMUs, sadly I only have one photograph of them in operation, and this is a rather poor quality one as it was before I got my first decent camera. Class 124 DMC number E51967 leads a four car set with a westbound service at Doncaster in the early 1980s.
Here I am at Wolverhapton and according to realtime trains, this convoy of 97's was due to pass on platform one (right side of this image), instead being routed through 2 (the one I was standing on), so this is the best I could manage at the time.
Anyways, the convoy consists of 97302, 97303 and 97304 and the date is the 09/07/21.

" "Class envy," far as I can tell, is just a rhetorical cliché used to discount political arguments that attack social inequity as being merely a manifestation of envy. "Class envy" isn't a concept of any historic substance, like, say, "class consciousness" or "free market." "
Interesting tussle over the term here :
