Seen from the embankment above Penistone station, a two car refurbished Class 108 DMU slows for its stop on a Sheffield-Huddersfield service on Christmas Eve, 1980. At this stage the Sheffield and Huddersfield trains were still going through the time-consuming reversal at Nunnery to access Sheffield's Midland station, prior to the re-routing of the service via Barnsley which was still over two years away. The Woodhead overhead line inspection train is stabled in the sidings behind. There would be no more Christmas Eves for the Woodhead route.
