Coates and Baggage. This mixed up triple set has plenty of baggage accommodation, with a pair of BRCW Class 110 “Calder Valley” power cars 52077 and 51818 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 leaving 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.
April 1988
Containing two vans this Class 110 DMU has a Class 108 TBS centre car. Seen at York Holgate heading for Sheffield in April 1988, the vehicles are presumably 52077 + 59246 + 51818. George Woods.
12th June 1988
A 6 car DMU rake made up of two 3 car units, led by a mixed BRCW Class 110 with a Class 108 trailer, 3 car set, comprising 52077 + 59249 + 51813, traverses the 'Holmes Chord' south of Rotherham Central station, heading south. 12th June 1988. John Crooks.

Date: April 1976
A Birmingham RC&W Co. 3-car Local Passenger "Calder Valley" dmu arrives at Accrington on a Preston - Leeds (City) service in April 1976. The vehicle numbers are thought to be 52069 + 59812 + 52077. Hugh Llewelyn.

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.

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.
Date: 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 There were only six of these built, at this time one was withdrawn, two were on the ScR and the other three at Neville Hill.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.
