7th June 1985
Set: BX491
Two nice clean Buxton allocated class 104 sets with distinctive white cab roofs negotiate the pointwork as they enter Longsight Depot on 7 June 1985. BX491 is the leading set containing M53496 + M59137 + M53431. Chris Thorp.

There's no doubting that the independent snow plough has been out doing a successful job overnight! Buxton DMU depot on 17th February 1986 with BRCW Class 104 set BX484 (M53496 nearest to the camera) adding to the fumes in the shed. DMU depots had a unique atmosphere of their own, although I doubt that those that had to work in these conditions felt the same about it! Remember the sound of Leyland, AEC and Rolls Royce engines turning over, slip, trip and fall hazards, and the inadequate fume extraction systems in depots such as Marylebone, Leith Central, Hull Botanic Gardens, Lincoln, Chester and Corkerhill, to name but a few. Memories! Gordon Edgar.

2nd March 1986
Set: BX484
A White roofed Buxton based BRC&W class 104 dmu BX484 (M53496, M59137, M53431) has terminated at Disley on 2nd March 1986 because of Sunday engineering works further down the line and is crossing back over to work the return service to Buxton. The line between Disley and Hazel Grove was closed every Sunday around this time for the construction of the Hazel Grove Cord. In it's last years Disley was a "Peak" hour only box, with i think 1 maybe 2 Disley peak hour expresses from Manchester Piccadilly terminating here, they were probably the only passenger trains scheduled not to stop at Stockport.

50498
29th June 1972
Set: EP490
A rare visitor to South Wales, this Derby-based Class 104 unit (M50498 + M59165 + M50446) with what appeared to be an empty stock working though Newport on 29th June 1972. It had previously worked a Derby – Cardiff special. Note the EP490 (Etches Park) set number in the cab window. Jim Sparks.
17th December 1975
A blurry image, but added as a rare shot of a BRCW Class 104 (M50498 + M59165 + M50446) at Reading on 17/12/75. The vehicles were allocated to Tyseley at the time. Bob Gregory.
5th August 1979
A view looking East at a basic Colne station, terminus of the East Lancashire line from Preston on August 5th 1979. A two-car BRCW Class 104 DMU formed of cars M50498 & M50446 was preparing to return to Preston. Colne once had a three platform station, a large goods yard with a warehouse, coal sidings and a carriage shed. The fortunes of this once busy location declined when the route from Colne to Skipton was closed in 1970. Worse was to come when 'economies' saw the line towards Preston singled to Chaffers Siding just East of Nelson. Colne station became unstaffed in 1971 and the demolition of all the remaining railway structures followed swiftly, leaving the bus shelter mediocrity seen in this view. Over 40 years on, the line is still single track, the station has been tided-up, but is still unstaffed. As for the route to Skipton, which if reinstated would become a useful trans-pennine link, it remains just a 'maybe one day'. Martyn Hilbert.

29th April 1962
The 5.35pm Birmingham New Street - Rugby departs from Kenilworth on 29 April 1962. This was a Sunday, it had arrived ex-Berkswell and reversed and is now heading to Coventry. It is a good view of the rear of M50499 showing the original footsteps and the board above the gangway. Michael Mensing.
7th April 1983
Class 104 DMU 50499 + 50447 stand at Manchester Victoria on 7.4.1983 Don Taggart.
17th September 1985
A leaning power line mast, as a BRCW 2-Car DMU formed of cars M53499 & M53470 was passing Globe Mill whilst accelerating away from the token exchange at Midge Hall with a Preston to Ormskirk service on September 17th 1985. The home signal (MH 2) in the Down direction at Midge Hall, was (and still is) the only surviving working semaphore on the national network in the Preston area. Martyn Hilbert.
30th August 1986
A two-car Class 104 DMU (M53499/M53470) was leading a pair of Class 108's on a six-car Blackpool North to Manchester Victoria service, departing from Chorley on August 30th 1986. Martyn Hilbert.
2nd June 1987
BRCW Class 104s 53499 and 53470 forming the 18:15 to Wigan Wallgate departing from Manchester Victoria in the rain on 2nd June 1987. Gordon Edgar.
6th July 1987
On a fine Summer evening, a two-car Class 104 DMU formed of Driving Motor Brake Second M53470 and Driving Motor Second Lavatory M53499, was hurrying along the Up Fast at Factory Lane, Penwortham, just South of Preston on July 6th 1987. The DMU appears to be well-filled, and the destination blind is showing Crewe. It may have been a returning special/charter from Blackpool North. Martyn Hilbert.
