31st August 1976
A three-car Class 110 BRC&W DMU in Clayton West station on 31 August 1976. It forms the 13:00 to Huddersfield and the power cars are E51818 (closest) and E51834. Robert Thomas.
2nd July 1977
A Class 110 DMU - E51818 and 59702 closest, the DMCL at the far end is presumably 51834 - at Wakefield Kirkgate with a Castleford service on 2 July 1977. Michael Mensing.
circa late 1970s
A Class 110 DMU with a Blackpool service in Manchester Victoria station. No date, probably late 1970s. The closest vehicle is recorded as 51818. Stuart Mackay Collection.
15th July 1984
Class 110 "Calder Valley" E51818 stabled in a siding at Huddersfield on 15 July 1984. Robert Thomas.
3rd January 1985
A two-car Class 110 DMU - 51818 leading - at New Mills South Junction on 3 January 1985. Chris Thorp.
late 1987
Coates and Baggage. This mixed up triple set has plenty of baggage accommodation, with a pair of BRCW Class 110 “Calder Valley” power cars 51818 and 52077 sandwiching a Derby class 108 TBSL 59246 which started life as part of a 4 car set allocated to the NE region. They are seen stopping at Great Coates with a Cleethorpes to Barton-upon-Humber service in late 1987. Strangely, some of the original BRCW centre cars were stored at Craigentinny around this time. Murray Liston.
late 1987
Grinding through Grimsby. A former "Calder Valley" BRCW class 110 DMU grinds round the bend between New Clee and Grimsby Docks stations in the winter of late 1987. E51818 is closest, the centre car is Class 108 TBSL 59246, the rear power car is 52077. Murray Liston.
late 1987
Not to be confused with Newquay. A 3 car BRCW DMU stops for nobody at New Clee station in the winter of late 1987. The centre car is a Class 108 TBSL. There were only six of these built, at this time one was withdrawn, two were on the ScR and the other three at Neville Hill. Two are recorded as running in Class 110 sets, and this formation is believed to be 51818 + 59246 + 52077. This halt between Cleethorpes and Grimsby was singled in 1985 and the remaining platform is now a request halt for the two-hourly Cleethorpes to Barton-upon-Humber service. Grimsby Town FC's Blundell Park stadium can be seen in the background. Murray Liston.
circa 1988
Class 110 DMBS E51818 in Leeds station. The second vehicle is a Class 108 TBS, 51818 was noted working with 59246 in late 1987/early 1988. Mike Bunker.

51818 has a young admirer at Scarborough, June '88. Ian Francis.

Murray Liston.
Date: April 1988
Containing two vans this Class 110 DMU has a Class 108 TBS centre car. Seen at York Holgate heading for Sheffield in April 1988, the vehicles are presumably 52077 + 59246 + 51818. George Woods.
