This is set 86 comprising E50590, E59221 and at the rear out of frame E50583. The train is the 17.23 Peterborough - Norwich of Friday 28th March 1980 which was pretty much an all stations affair I seem to recall. It is seen arriving at a rather wet March station. Gerard Fletcher.

Class 104 BRC&W 9-car unit (set BN457 closest) at Morecambe station on an excursion. A really smart looking Birmingham Railway Carriage & Wagon Class 104 set at Morecambe station. Note the white cab roof - these were painted specially by the crews at Buxton shed and added a nice touch to these workaday DMUs. We had arrived on the unit on an excursion, to visit a British Rail exhibition at the station, which included visitng LNER steam locos - A4 Pacific 4498 Sir Nigel Gresley and V2 4771 Green Arrow. Taken with my basic Kodak Brownie using 120 roll film. Chris McKee.

Embellished with a white dome and red buffer beam, it still retains an old style destination blind with Manchester London Road (it had been renamed to Piccadilly 10 years before).

Buxton based BRC&W class 104 3 car dmu BX480 (M53426, M59152, M53474), is seen under the 1500DC wires arriving at platform 3 at Dinting, whilst working a direct peak hours only Hadfield-Manchester Piccadilly service, 22nd July 1983. Andrew J Crowther.
The passengers on the Poynton Parish Puffa were treated at Stratford-upon-Avon to a visit by the steam locomotive 46229 Duchess of Hamilton on 29 June 1985 although I don't recall taking any pictures of this. The return working of the steam special left a short while before the DMU (BX480, presumably 53474/59152/53420 and BX496, presumably 52062/59155/51947) went back to Cheshire and I photographed the latter from the window of the signal box. The industrial units in the background are the site of the erstwhile Stratford-upon-Avon shed and coaling stage. The entire backdrop is virtually unrecognisable nowadays and the signal box itself was demolished many years ago. Peter Tandy.
