Class 108 DMU at Bamber Bridge

29th June 1991

Morning sunlight was reflecting on the windscreen of Longsight allocated set LO275, as it departed from Bamber Bridge with a Preston to Colne service on June 29th 1991. The Class 108 was formed of cars M53980 & M54256 and was passing signal PN486 which was then mounted on the platform. At the time, the station had small stone built shelters on each platform. The one on the eastbound platform was constructed from the stone blocks of the old Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway building that once graced the platform here. The opposite (westbound) platform had a shelter built from imitation stone (concrete) blocks. Both these structures were short-lived, they were replaced by anodised aluminium shelters with small glass panels. Martyn Hilbert.
