Details

On a warm June 28th 1980 with the train crew looking on, a six-car BRCW Class 104 'White-Liner' DMU was stood at Poulton-Le-Fylde with a Blackpool North to Manchester Victoria service. Driving Motor Composite Lavatory Car M50530 was leading the formation. Standard fare along the Manchester-Blackpool route from the late 1960's until around 1982, they were part of the large allocation of 104's at Newton Heath Depot. The well-worn sets were replaced by Swindon Class 120's cascaded from various parts of the country, a temporary measure until the new Class 150/2 Sprinter fleet appeared in sufficient quantities.
