2nd August 1980
A view along the District Civil Engineers sidings at Kirkham North Junction through the cast-iron span of bridge 26, as a 2-Car Class 104 DMU formed of cars M50449 & M50535 comes off the Ribby Curve and the end of the Coast Line with the 12.01 Blackpool South to Kirkham & Wesham on August 2nd 1980. These were the days when the core daytime service on the Blackpool South line ran to and from Kirkham only, utilising a reversing siding at the Preston end of Kirkham station. On weekday mornings a through service ran to Manchester Victoria and a corresponding return service ran in the evening, the unit stabling overnight at Blackpool South, the route then was still double track and South station had two platform roads. In the 1970's the through Manchester train was often formed of a Class 124 Transpennine DMU set. Martyn Hilbert.

26th April 1986
Intending passengers head towards Class 104 Motor Brake Second M53451, stood at Burscough Bridge with a Southport to Manchester Victoria service on April 26th 1986. On the very same day the World had woken up to the news that in the former Soviet Union (Now part of Ukraine), the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant disaster was unfolding that would rapidly see radioactive particles spread in the air across much of Europe. Martyn Hilbert.

9th August 1986
After bashing Peaks over the Pennines, and sampling the ale in Stalybridge station bar I took the opportunity to photograph the little-recorded local DMU service to Stockport on 9 August 1986. The 19:18 service was being operated by a tired looking Class 104 B.R.C. & W. DMU 53451 + 53518, seen in the bay platform 3, bathed in the late afternoon sunshine, with the hills in the distance. I made a number of tape recordings to capture the railway scene of the time and you canexperience the audio magic of this vintage DMU making its characteristic sounds. The driver slams the cab door at the start and then revs up the engine in the familiar manner before departing. https://soundcloud.com/sound-vision-10193594/class-104-2-car-dmu-5345153518-leaves-stalybridge-on-a-local-service-to-stockport-9th-aug-1986 Chris McKee.

15th October 1988
A Class 104 two-car DMU formed of cars M53451 & M53518 was departing from Salwick with a Blackpool South to Colne service on October 15th 1988. This was the period when Salwick still retained its former Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway platform canopy. A location that is no longer accessible on the former goods yard cobbled roadway. Martyn Hilbert.
15th October 1988
Set: N668
With peeling paint and corrosion erupting around the cab windows, a well-worn looking Class 104 Driving Motor Brake Second M53451 was coupled to Driving Open Second Lavatory M53518, stood at a run-down Squires Gate with a Blackpool South to Colne service on October 15th 1988. The Coast Line from Blackpool South to Kirkham had fallen on hard times, with just a single track remaining on this once busy route that in the days gone by, buzzed with activity. Despite being close to the Pontins Holiday Camp and Blackpool Airport, the facilities at Squires Gate had been reduced to a bare platform. A far-cry from the days when there were even Camping Coaches located here. The 104 was into its last period of extended operation due to ongoing problems with the Class 142 Pacer fleet. Martyn Hilbert.
