For many years there was a Summer Saturday dated Castleford to Blackpool North working that went out-and-back in a day. Once the preserve of an Eastern Region Class 40, by June 23rd 1979 when this image was recorded at Blackburn of the return working from Blackpool, the service was provided by DMU sets, on this particular day formed of ten cars. The leading car was 'Calder Valley' Class 110 Driving Motor Composite E51833. Also in the formation were a Class 104 quad and a Met-Camm triple. The Class 110s were familiar visitors to Blackpool, in the 1970's there was a daily Bradford-Blackpool North service always formed of a single three-car set, and at the time was the only regular timetabled passenger train to run over the Copy Pit route.
