In refurbished white with blue stripe livery, a Class 108 DMU rake with DMCL E50630 nearest the camera, was stood at Morecambe Promenade on Bank Holiday Monday May 1st 1978. Complete with its paraffin tail lamp the DMU had arrived from Leeds with an additional bank holiday service.

There were several of these cut-down lattice monuments at Morecambe for many years. Martyn Hilbert.
