17th September 1977
Following a heavy shower the sun had reappeared as a six-car Calder Valley DMU formation with Driving Motor Composite Lavatory Car E52084 leading, was approaching Preston with a Bradford to Blackpool North service on September 17th 1977. For many years the daily return service between West Yorkshire and Blackpool was the only regular passenger service to travel over the Copy Pit route. The Rolls-Royce engined Class 110 fleet based at Bradford Hammerton Street Depot were subsequently regular visitors to Preston and on busy Summer Saturdays in the early to mid 1970's, a 9-Car lash-up was not uncommon. Martyn Hilbert.
22nd January 1983
A train for Huddersfield formed of a Class 110 DMU (52084 closest) awaits departure from Clayton West on 22nd January 1983, the final day of service on the 3.5 mile branch from Shepley Junction. This is now the site of the terminus of the Kirklees Light Railway. Paul Braybrook.
22nd January 1983
Class 110 52084 + 59703 + 51820 at Clayton West, leading 51822 + 59710 + 51840, on 22 January 1983 - the last day of passenger services on the branch. Rob Paterson.

Stepping up at Cleethorpes. A former "Calder Valley" BRCW class 110 DMU (E52084 closest) is seen at Cleethorpes in late 1987 having arrived from Barton-upon-Humber. On the left is a set of steps used to climb aboard from the lower platform level, a far cry from today's step free access requirements everywhere. Murray Liston.
3rd September 1988
Departing Leeds with the 11:40 to Scunthorpe is a Class 110 led by 52084, 3rd Sept 1988. Lee Senior.

Date: late 1987
Barton Bound BRCW. A former "Calder Valley" BRCW class 110 DMU with centre car removed, is seen approaching New Clee station in late 1987 with a Cleethorpes to Barton-upon-Humber shuttle. The rear car is probably E52084. Murray Liston.
