9th April 1983

Vehicle: 52051   

In rural West Lancashire, A Class 108 2-Car DMU formed of M52051 & M51936 arrives at Bescar Lane whilst working a Southport to Manchester Victoria service on April 9th 1983. The station here was in a time warp, with an ex LYR Signalbox, timber level crossing gates, semaphore signals and station buildings that had British Rail posters from 1971 announcing the change to decimal currency, and on one board the tattered remains of an LMS poster!

Vehicle: 51936   

Deep in rural West Lancashire, a 2-Car Class 108 DMU formed of cars M51936 & M52051 calls at Bescar Lane with a Southport to Manchester Victoria service on April 9th 1983. At the time the station still had a working signal box that controlled a traditional timber gated level crossing. The station still retained its building on the Southport bound platform, which in 1983 displayed a BR poster about Decimalisation (1971) and the tattered remains of an LMS poster. Martyn Hilbert.
