19th October 1985
On 19 October 1985 I was chatting to a friend at Leamington Spa who said that one of the last locomotives he was yet to see was stabled at March Yard and would I like a trip over there? On the way we called at Bedford where this class 104 comprising vehicles 53444 + 59206 + 53500 was stabled in the electrified siding alongside the virtually empty car park. Peter Tandy.
26th October 1985
Set: BX482
Stratford-upon-Avon had several visitations by Buxton based DMUs in the mid-1980s and on the cold and damp 26 October 1985 there was a 1L04 from Manchester Piccadilly listed in the weekly STN. I spent a few minutes chatting to Mick, the signalman at Stratford East, only crossing to the other side when he pulled off the outer home signal. The train consisted of a six coach class 104 (plain blue) + 108 (blue & grey) combo with vehicles 53507, 59195, 53429 + 51943, 59388 & 52058 and it was pleasing that that the class 104 was leading as these were less often seen in the West Midlands than class 108. Peter Tandy.

Set: BX482
A clear view of Stratford-upon-Avon station from the Alcester Road bridge on 26 October 1985. On the left BX482 (53507 + 59195 + 53429) + BX495 (51943 + 59388 + 52058) are stood in the Cold Store Siding while on the right a 6 coach class 116 formation (each set containing Met-Camm centre cars) is about to depart from platform 2 on its journey to Birmingham Moor Street. The 104/108 would later shunt into P2 before making the long journey back to Manchester Piccadilly after the passengers had spent a chilly day in Stratford in the days before all-day opening!

This class 104/107 3-car hybrid DMU set is seen in at Ardrossan Harbour Winton Pier Station prior to departure with the morning boat train to Glasgow on November 4, 1985. The station only had a sporadic service through the day connecting with ferry sailings to and from the Isle of Arran although the sign on the footbridge reads to the Belfast ferry this route had finished in the 1970's. This 3-car train would form service 1T82 09.35 to Glasgow Central. Adrian Nicholls.

Set: BX488
With the Buxton tracks having been temporary slewed, two Buxton allocated BRC&W class 104 dmu's are about to pass each other, working the Manchester Piccadilly - Buxton services on 30th November 1985. The cord track bed is now in place it wont be long before the track on the cord is in place as well, providing a link between the old Midland Rly that crosses the bridge and the L&NW Rly, an idea that was first proposed in 1902, the cord opened for traffic on the 12th May 1986. BX488 presumably contains 53542 59144 53598. Andrew J Crowther.
