9th July 1980

Class 108s at Liverpool Lime Street, 09/07/1980. The leading car M52052 appears to be newly refurbished - by this date, the white livery with blue band had been dropped in favour of this familiar blue & grey scheme, which had previously been reserved for Inter-City / Cross-Country vehicles as well as coaching stock. Graeme Phillips Collection.
