Details

Running at full speed, a BRCW Class 104 three-car 'Manchester-Blackpool White Liner' with Driving Motor Composite Lavatory (DMCL) M50522 leading, was passing the island platform of Salwick station whilst running between Kirkham and Preston with a Blackpool North to Manchester Victoria service on April 3rd 1978. Allocated to Newton Heath depot, these well-worn 104's were a familiar sight along this busy route at the time. To the right of the DMU was the site of a pair of fast lines that once avoided the station platform at Salwick, a legacy from the days when the four track route from Preston to Kirkham North Junction handled huge amounts of excursion traffic.
