21st January 1978
Newcastle Station - East end Concourse, on 21/01/1978. This was the Saturday prior to withdrawal of BR services between Manors and West Monkseaton via Benton. There appears to be some kind of electronic information boards, although not for platform 2. The paper notice stands are presumably about arrangements for replacement bus services. A Class 104, typical traction at the time, is behind the red ticket inspector's kiosk, several 101s are to the right. Graeme Phillips Collection.

3rd April 1978
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. Martyn Hilbert.

25th May 1978
A Ramblers Excursion from East Lancashire to North Wales was stood in the former LNWR Goods Yard amidst the slate at Blaenau Ffestiniog on May 25th 1978. The 10-Car formation consisted of a Class 104 3-car set, a Class 108 2-car, a Class 105 2-car and at the rear another 3-car Class 104. The train had first travelled to Llandudno before traversing the Conway Valley Line. The nearest car is Class 104 DMBS M50468. The line running to left of the picture still ran Southwards and was the remains of the former line to Bala, retained for Nuclear Flask Trains to Trawsfynydd Power Station. The route of the then dormant Ffestiniog Railway is to the rear of the station. Martyn Hilbert.
25th May 1978
Class 104, M50453 stands at Blaenau Ffestiniog after arrival with an excursion from East Lancashire on May 25th 1978. The 10-Car formation has been moved out of the platform road to enable the service train from Llandudno Junction to use the station. It was to be another 4 years before the narrow gauge Ffestiniog Railway made a triumphal return to the town and sharing a new joint station with BR, enabling the former LNWR Station seen here to be closed. Martyn Hilbert.
25th May 1978
A Ramblers Excursion from East Lancashire to North Wales, stood in the former LNWR Goods Yard, amidst the slate at Blaenau Ffestiniog on May 25th 1978. The ten-car formation consisted of a Class 104 3-car set, a Class 108 2-car, a Class 105 2-car and at the rear another 3-car Class 104. The train had first travelled to Llandudno before traversing the Conway Valley Line. The nearest car is Class 104 DMBS M50468. The former LNWR station was still in use at this time, just visible on the left. Martyn Hilbert.
25th May 1978
In the now-closed former LNWR station at Blaenau Ffestiniog, Class 104 Driving Motor Brake Second (DMBS) M50453 was stood with a ten-car DMU Ramblers excursion from East Lancashire on May 25th 1978. Martyn Hilbert.

June 1978
A Class 104 DMU in Edinburgh Waverley station, June 1978. Although unlikely today, excursions using standard DMUs such as this were not uncommon in the 1970s. This Class 104 was working between Glasgow Queen Street and Whitley Bay. The E-prefix to the number indicates it is probably one of the Class 104s then allocated to South Gosforth (GF) depot for North Tyneside services. Graeme Phillips Collection.
23rd June 1978
Recently returned from Overhaul and yet to receive a Norwich MPD Set allocation number Class 104 DMCL E50583 rests on it's home depot ahead of Class 03 03103. By Autumn 1978 she was part of Set No.82 at Norwich until transferring to Leeds, Neville Hill MPD in mid 1980 from where she was withdrawn in May 1982. She would return to East Anglia however as she was scrapped at the Mayer Newman Yard in Snailwell during July 1983. Bob Woolnough.
