Buxton station on Saturday 2 September 1978 with a 6-car Class 104 formation about to depart. According to my notes these will be 50427/59138/50440, 50421/59148/50490 and 59198. There are 3 trailer cars listed here, but only 2 3-car units in my photo and I can only guess that the "extra" trailer was visible at the diesel depot. The Class 08 on the right will be 08611 and a Class 40 is also just visible; there were 4 Class 40s at Buxton on this day. Lewis Bevan.

The Newton Heath based Class 104 3-Car DMU sets embellished with a white stripe were the mainstay of services between Blackpool North & Manchester Victoria in the 1970's. In a scene that was repeated daily, M50472 brings up the rear of Manchester Victoria bound service as it calls at Chorley on a warm afternoon on September 18th 1979. The station buildings in this view were swept away in the 1980's when the station was reconstructed. Beyond the now-removed Signalbox is the former Goods Yard, now part of the the station car park.

Normally used on Manchester Victoria to Blackpool North services, one of the three-Car Newton Heath allocated Class 104 sets complete with its white bodyside stripe, was working the Kirkham to Blackpool South shuttle service on September 19th 1979.
