30th March 1980
The preserved blue/grey liveried Class 502 set keeps company with a pair of BRCW 3-Car DMU sets in the carriage sidings at Southport on March 30th 1980. The nearest set is a Class 110 'Calder Valley' with Driving Motor Composite E51814 looking rather grimy. Close examination of the side and cab lower edge suggests it may have had a close encounter with some other object or been in a bit of a mishap. Alongside the 110 is a 3-Car Class 104, with Centre Composite Trailer M59185 on view. The set was one of the Manchester-Blackpool 'white liners', whose diagrams included the odd trip to Southport from Manchester Victoria. The car park beyond looks rather empty. Martyn Hilbert.
17th November 1984
A two-car Class 110 DMU with 51814 closest in Sheffield station on the evening of 17 November 1984. Chris Thorp.
22nd March 1985
Known as Calder Valley sets the class 110's were primarily associated with the Trans Pennine route between Manchester and Leeds, via Halifax and Bradford so slightly unusual to see one at Chesterfield. Despite being an Eastern Region station it was very much Midland mainline territory. Here 2-car set 51814 + 52083 has just arrived with train 2H01 the 07.03 York to Chesterfield on 22 March 1985. It will return as the 09.00 to Sheffield. Adrian Nicholls.
22nd July 1985
A Class 110 seen at Newcastle on 22/07/1985. Whilst this Yorkshire-based class might have made occasional visits to Newcastle as arrivals from York, this image shows E51814 + E52083 awaiting departure with the 18:35 Newcastle - Sunderland Graeme Phillips Collection.
The vehicle is mentioned in the following images:
Date: 10th November 1979
Stabled in what can rather loosely be described as a 'shed' 'Calder Valley' BRCW Class 110 DMU Nos. E52083-E59703-E51814 inside the roofless depot at Bradford Hammerton Street on 10th November 1979. The Class 110 diesel multiple units were built by the Birmingham Railway Carriage and Wagon Company in conjunction with the Drewry Car Co. to operate services on the former Lancashire and Yorkshire main line, and spent their entire careers based around this same area. This earned them the name of the 'Calder Valley' sets. They were an updated version of the Class 104, with a revised cab design and raised bodyside window frames. Of the depot itself, the former Hammerton Street shed in Bradford closed to steam in 1958 to concentrate on DMU and diesel shunter maintenance and finally closed in 1984 when the remaining class 110 units allocated there were transferred to Neville Hill depot in Leeds.
