9th February 1990

Vehicle: 53957   

Believed to be an empty coaching stock (ECS) move, cars E53957 E54236 are captured at Millom (Cumbria) on 9/2/90. These were part of the batch of Class 108s that had long been allocated to Kingmoor (KD) depot, Carlisle, but were transferred to Heaton (HT) depot, Newcastle, upon closure of the former in May 1988. They continued to operate Cumbria services until displaced by Class 153s in 1991. Graeme Phillips Collection.

22nd September 1990

Vehicle: 54247   Set: CH274

M54247 leads M53964 with a service to Barrow-in-Furness at Millom, Cumbria, on 22/09/1990. This pair had been painted into this version of BR green livery in the mid-1980s. Having dominated the West Cumbria line services since the late 1960s, the Class 108s' reign was now entering its final year, with the remaining examples being withdrawn late 1991 and replaced by the then newly-converted Class 153 single cars. Nowadays (2016), the line sees a mix of Northern units, with Classes 153 / 156 being most common, plus some Class 142s. The units are supplemented by some Class 37-hauled services.
