An official image (18 of 18, negative D4851-22) from a internal BR photo album titled 'Refurbished Class 108/142 DMU Production'. It shows the middle saloon of what is presumed to be 56195, circa August 1977. British Rail.
14th August 1977
Complete with its first class saloon, Derby Class 108 Driving Motor Composite Lavatory (DMCL) M52040 was stabled in the bay platform at Wigan Wallgate on the evening of August 14th 1977. The DMU was almost buffered-up to a pair of departmental open wagons parked against the block (DM749384 'Haddock' & DB908130 'Grampus'). In 1977 the former Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway station at Wigan Wallgate was still lit by gas, with the cast iron platform columns having sugg's lanterns and faded BR London Midland Region maroon enamel totems. The place was in a time-wrap and a stones throw from the 1970's modernity at the brutally rebuilt Wigan North Western on the WCML. Martyn Hilbert.

A reject box rescue, this period image at Wigan Wallgate was taken in the twilight of a Summer evening, was on the end of a Kodachrome film and was returned in the box of processed transparencies unmounted. It had some processing staining/marking/damage, it is far from perfect, but the worst has been removed and shows a now vanished scene complete with faded maroon Totems on the gas lamps. A two-car Class 108 DMU formed of cars M52040 & M50933 was stabled between duties in the bay, buffered-up to two departmental wagons (DM749384 'Haddock' & DB908130 'Grampus') on August 14th 1977. There was a tail lamp marker on the platform and the Westbound platform was furnished with now-vanished 1960's white enamel DMU 'car stop' signs. Martyn Hilbert.

10th September 1977
With St Helens on the destination blind, a refurbished Class 108 Driving Motor Brake Second (DMBS) M51914 was leading an eight-car rake of 108's (4 x 2-car sets), passing Kirkham North Junction with an ECS working from Blackpool North on September 10th 1977. The units were running along the now-removed Up station avoiding line. Martyn Hilbert.
16th September 1977
A two-car Class 108 DMU, formed of cars M56265 (Complete with its First Class saloon) & DMBS M50982, were arriving at Croston with a Preston to Ormskirk service on September 16th 1977. The station still retained its LMS concrete platform lamps, and the former Down platform is visible on the left, including the holes and the patch in the stonework of the bridge, where steps once connected Station Road to the platform, a legacy from the days when this was a double track main line from Preston to Liverpool Exchange. Martyn Hilbert.
16th September 1977
In Rail Blue livery and complete with its tail lamp, a Class 108 two-car DMU formed of cars M56265 & M50982 was departing from Croston with a Preston to Ormskirk service on September 16th 1977. The station still had its LMS concrete post lamps with tin shades and bare blubs. In the distance the loading gauge was still in-situ at the entrance to the trackless former goods yard. Ahead of the DMU the single track of this former main line is visible regaining its alignment along the former Down Line. When the route was downgraded and singled circa 1970, the track was slewed across to the Up Side at Croston to serve the single remaining operational platform. Martyn Hilbert.
