The vehicle is mentioned in the following images:
Date: 9th August 1980
A Class 108 two-car DMU stood in platform 1 at Ilkley with a service to Leeds on August 9th 1980. The Wharfdale Line from Leeds to Ilkley was electrified in 1995. The Driving Trailer Second Lavatory (DTSL) was recorded as E56193, yet that vehicle was in Blue and Grey livery from April 1980, so either the vehicle or date is wrong... Martyn Hilbert.
