On Bank Holiday Monday August 29th 1988, a six-car rake of Class 108 DMUs had arrived at Southport with an additional service from Manchester. The leading car was Driving Motor Brake Second (DMBS) M51424 part of Chester set CH255. The car had been built to Lot.No.30498 at Derby and had been new in March 1960. In 1988, M51424 was partnered with Driving Trailer M54232, the set being transferred to Manchester Longsight Depot in 1990, where it worked it's last period of operation until withdrawn from service in 1992. Both cars were subsequently scrapped by Booth's of Rotherham. Martyn Hilbert.
Surrounded by open agricultural land which is a characteristic of the Preston to Ormskirk route, a two-car BRCW Class 104 DMU formed of cars M53536 & M53520 had left Midge Hall behind in the far-distance, and was passing the Cocker Bar at Ulnes Walton en-route to it's first intermediate station call at the village of Croston, whilst working a well-filled tea time Preston to Ormskirk service on May 5th 1989. The set was numbered as Newton Heath N678, the leading car M53536 still carrying Network South East branding on the bodyside, a legacy from when the car was allocated to Bletchley Depot between 1982 & 1987.
