Complete with their tail lamps, A pair of Newton Heath allocated Class 108's stand in bay platforms 3A & 4A at the south end of Preston Station on March 18th 1974. The unit on the left was being used on services to Ormskirk, whilst the one the right was stabled, although if the destination blind is to be believed it has seen some recent use on the Windermere Branch. Class 108's were the norm on the Ormskirk services at the time. The 108 on the right has set number NH449 in the cab window (and another partially seen behind it), the 108 on the left has 'IL7' in the window - probably a partial headcode chalked on the reverse of a set number board, Martyn Hilbert.
