A Leeds Neville Hill Depot allocated Class 108 with Driving Trailer Second Lavatory (TRSL) E54195 leading, was stood at Parbold with a Southport to Manchester Victoria service on October 4th 1986. The rear car has West Yorkshire PTE 'MetroTrain' branding, and judging by the destination blind the unit had been 'borrowed' at Manchester for the trip to the seaside and back. Martyn Hilbert.
