Class 110 DMU at Wakefield Kirkgate

2nd July 1977

A Class 110 DMU - E51818 and 59702 closest, the DMCL at the far end is presumably 51834 - at Wakefield Kirkgate with a Castleford service on 2 July 1977. Michael Mensing.

Class 110 DMU at Manchester Victoria

circa late 1970s

A Class 110 DMU with a Blackpool service in Manchester Victoria station. No date, probably late 1970s. The closest vehicle is recorded as 51818. Stuart Mackay Collection.

Class 110 DMU at Great Coates

late 1987

Coates and Baggage. This mixed up triple set has plenty of baggage accommodation, with a pair of BRCW Class 110 “Calder Valley” power cars 51818 and 52077 sandwiching a Derby class 108 TBSL 59246 which started life as part of a 4 car set allocated to the NE region. They are seen stopping at Great Coates with a Cleethorpes to Barton-upon-Humber service in late 1987. Strangely, some of the original BRCW centre cars were stored at Craigentinny around this time. Murray Liston.

Class 110 DMU at between New Clee and Grimsby Docks

late 1987

Grinding through Grimsby. A former "Calder Valley" BRCW class 110 DMU grinds round the bend between New Clee and Grimsby Docks stations in the winter of late 1987. E51818 is closest, the centre car is Class 108 TBSL 59246, the rear power car is 52077. Murray Liston.

Class 110 DMU at New Clee

late 1987

Not to be confused with Newquay. A 3 car BRCW DMU stops for nobody at New Clee station in the winter of late 1987. The centre car is a Class 108 TBSL. There were only six of these built, at this time one was withdrawn, two were on the ScR and the other three at Neville Hill. Two are recorded as running in Class 110 sets, and this formation is believed to be 51818 + 59246 + 52077. This halt between Cleethorpes and Grimsby was singled in 1985 and the remaining platform is now a request halt for the two-hourly Cleethorpes to Barton-upon-Humber service. Grimsby Town FC's Blundell Park stadium can be seen in the background. Murray Liston.
