26th August 1977
In the fading-light of an Summer evening, a six-car BRCW Class 104 'White Line' DMU formation was arriving at Wigan Wallgate with a Manchester Victoria to Southport service on August 26th 1977. The leading car was Driving Motor Brake Second M50472. The Newton Heath allocated white-liners were normally associated with the Manchester Victoria to Blackpool North services, but also had peak-time workings on the Southport line. Martyn Hilbert.

10th September 1977
With the cobbled roadway of the former goods yard on the right, a well filled three-car BRCW Class 104 DMU formed of cars M50453, M59161 & M50505, complete with two first class saloons, was passing Salwick at speed with a Manchester Victoria to Blackpool North service on Saturday September 10th 1977. The former Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway signalbox dating from 1889, was retained at Salwick as a fringe box to the Preston PSB. The structure which must have been a busy place when the route between Preston and Kirkham had four tracks, was 'modernised' with UPVC windows and a lowered internal ceiling in later years. The 'box was closed in November 2017 as a prelude to resignalling and electrification between Preston and Blackpool North, and was demolished on December 19th 2017. The now electrified Blackpool-Preston route is signalled from the ROC at Ashburys. Martyn Hilbert.

circa 1978
Class 104 vehicles in Lancaster station on a Sunday in the late 1970s. These are related to the derailment of an outbound Leeds train which possibly derailed on the remaining points from the old Glasson Dock branch at the North end of platforms 1 & 2. All trains were cancelled on the WCML through Lancaster while the Breakdown train from Wigan attended. Andrew Pilkington.

21st January 1978
Newcastle Station - East end Concourse, on 21/01/1978. This was the Saturday prior to withdrawal of BR services between Manors and West Monkseaton via Benton. There appears to be some kind of electronic information boards, although not for platform 2. The paper notice stands are presumably about arrangements for replacement bus services. A Class 104, typical traction at the time, is behind the red ticket inspector's kiosk, several 101s are to the right. Graeme Phillips Collection.

3rd April 1978
Running at full speed, a BRCW Class 104 three-car 'Manchester-Blackpool White Liner' with Driving Motor Composite Lavatory (DMCL) M50522 leading, was passing the island platform of Salwick station whilst running between Kirkham and Preston with a Blackpool North to Manchester Victoria service on April 3rd 1978. Allocated to Newton Heath depot, these well-worn 104's were a familiar sight along this busy route at the time. To the right of the DMU was the site of a pair of fast lines that once avoided the station platform at Salwick, a legacy from the days when the four track route from Preston to Kirkham North Junction handled huge amounts of excursion traffic. Martyn Hilbert.

25th May 1978
A Ramblers Excursion from East Lancashire to North Wales was stood in the former LNWR Goods Yard amidst the slate at Blaenau Ffestiniog on May 25th 1978. The 10-Car formation consisted of a Class 104 3-car set, a Class 108 2-car, a Class 105 2-car and at the rear another 3-car Class 104. The train had first travelled to Llandudno before traversing the Conway Valley Line. The nearest car is Class 104 DMBS M50468. The line running to left of the picture still ran Southwards and was the remains of the former line to Bala, retained for Nuclear Flask Trains to Trawsfynydd Power Station. The route of the then dormant Ffestiniog Railway is to the rear of the station. Martyn Hilbert.
