Tucked away out of sight around the back of Manchester Victoria was this bay platform, if it was in regular use or not I don't know but stock would stable overnight in it, as seen here in the shape of a BRC&W class 104 DMBS M53444 on the 9th April 1988. Andrew J Crowther.

A pair of Class 104 BRC&W 2-car DMUs - 53444 + 53493 (set N666) and a sister - come ECS from Red Bank into Manchester Victoria 17-10-88. On Tour With the Class 13 Army.
This was the last time I saw a BRC&W Class 104 on the Buxton line on a service train, as they had long since been displaced on the Buxton line by this time, interesting too the second time I had seen a 2 car example, as all Buxton units were 3 cars. This is Newton Heath allocated N666 led by 53493 heading back to Manchester on the outskirts of Hazel Grove, 24th April 1989. Andrew J Crowther.
A BRC&W Class 104/Derby Class 108 combination on a peak hour working, 24th April 1989, having just left Furness Vale on their way up to Buxton. This is Newton Heath allocated N666 comprising of 53444 + 53493. Andrew J Crowther.
