Details

With the former East Lancashire entrance building in Butler Street on the skyline, a pair of two-car Carlisle Kingmoor allocated Class 108's were stood at the North end of platform 5 at Preston on October 14th 1978. The nearest set was formed of Driving Trailer Composite Lavatory (DTCL) M56250 coupled with Driving Motor Brake Second (DMBS) M50967. The units had bars on the droplights due to limited clearances on the Cumbrian Coast line between Maryport and Carlisle. On February 5th 1988, M56250 was involved in a collision at Carnforth with an engineers wagon, and it ended its days grounded at Carnforth Midland Bottom End Yard until it was scrapped on site.
