Memories of Ayr Depot (5) - 16 October 1985

Metropolitan-Cammell Class 101 dmu 101321 with Driving Motor SC53146 nearest the camera. Whilst other vehicles in the depot bore TransClyde titles, this unit appears in Strathclyde Transport scheme. The Class 20 locomotive in the distance is 20039.

Taken in the days when depots were many, usually had locomotives and when a courteous request to look round was usually met with a courteous and affirmative reply. Ayr Depot is a little to the south of Newton-on-Ayr station.

This is the fifth in a series of rediscovered photographs being scanned during lockdown and, I hope, bringing as much joy to those thus confined as they do to me.
