Following a minor derailment whilst arriving at Lancaster on a service from Leeds on March 5th 1979, the four-car Class 104 DMU formed of cars E50563, E59189, E59241 and another DMC was moved to the Up Yard Sidings at Lancaster. The following day the set was being examined and inspected, prior to it working back to its home depot at Leeds Neville Hill. The front first class saloon had a broken window on the drivers side. In attendance was an almost new British Rail Commer van, reg no. URC 555S. The 12 Ton Ventilated Van alongside with its doors open was B786766. Martyn Hilbert.

Class 104 at Sheringham on 11 April 1979. Please don't leave without me! I'd arrived on the last train of the day from Norwich which had about an eight minute layover before forming the last service back. I wanted to photograph the two W&M railbus at the NNR station. Luckily the Guard let me leave my bag on the train which made me more mobile but said he would offload it and go if I was even a few seconds late. The mission was accomplished, I even had time to photograph the train when I got back - you can see the Guard patiently waiting for me. Alistair Ness.

In the days when Blackpool South still had two operational platforms and when the former booking hall on Waterloo Road bridge had a large model railway shop and layout, a three-car Class 104 Manchester-Blackpool 'white-liner' DMU was operating the 12.1 Mile, Blackpool South to Kirkham & Wesham shuttle service on May 19th 1979. The set complete with its first class saloons in the leading car and the centre trailer, was formed of cars M50524, M59180 & M50472. Visible in the view are the remains of much redundant railway land, including the trackbed and platform that was once part of the direct line between Blackpool South and Kirkham in the days when this was a busy location with trains going to and from the terminus at Blackpool Central that closed in November 1964. All the land to the right of the DMU is now given over to car parking and a link road to the M55 motorway, and where the DMU was stood, the track has gone and large advertising hoardings facing the road, ar Martyn Hilbert.

This is not the current station site. Trains now continue further to a joint station with the Ffestiniog Railway. Jeremy Chapter.
