LO281 at Heysham Port (then called Heysham Sea Terminal) on the 12.40 to Stockport on 2/8/91. From photographs on this site of 51419 and 54273, the front car is neither of them. David Miller.

A stranger in the camp at Bilbrook on the Shrewsbury to Wolverhampton line during the morning of 31 August 1991. The 2 car class 108 (LO287, presumably 54203 + 51911) still was allocated to Longsight at this time and I imagine that it had been borrowed by Chester depot to fill in for the lack of a set from Tyseley, the usual source for trains between Wolverhampton and Chester. Much of This line was controlled with mechanical signalling at this time and Bilbrook signalbox is just visible behind the bushes on the right hand side of the line. The destination panel in the unit's cab reads "Chester" although the train isn't far from its Wolverhampton destination. Peter Tandy.
Class 108 sets LO257 (presumably 53970) and LO285 (presumably 54236 + 53969) are seen at Manchester Piccadilly in late 1991. Simon Barnes.

Class 108 54485, set number LO280 (with 53971), is seen departing Leeds with a working to Blackpool on 07.09.1991. First Generation DMU's were always associated with Leeds, but on this day in 1991, after spending quite a few hours on the station, this was the only heritage set to be seen. Andy Cole.

T063 (M53925 + M52050) depart Crewe on the 11:28 to Stoke, 8-9-91. Kevin Dowd.
Set T063 at Derby on Saturday 14 September 1991. John Atkinson.
I often had a drive over to Cosford in 1991 because of 1) the MGR traffic to and from Ironbridge Power Station still sometimes with class 20s in charge and 2) for the first generation DMUs on the Chester services. On 14 September 1991 class 108 T072 (53933 + 51566) was photographed in a lucky patch of sunshine on a largely cloudy morning as it slowed for the stop at the nearby station while working a Chester to Wolverhampton service. The bracket signal was the obvious attraction of this location and without it the shot would have been much less photogenic. Peter Tandy.
The sunshine didn't last long at Cosford on 14 September 1991 and by the time that class 108 T072 (51566 + 53933) returned from Wolverhampton towards Chester the cloud and murk had returned allowing a shot from the north side of line thus giving a better view of the signals and other infrastructure. The wind sleeve in the background marks the site as being part of RAF Cosford, a training establishment and museum of many things aeronautical including an unfortunately static TSR2 experimental strike and reconnaissance aircraft, a victim of Governmental dogma. Peter Tandy.
Set 954, W52047+51932 waits at Plymouth before working the 10:20 shuttle to Laira TMD open day, 15-9-91. Kevin Dowd.
Set LO285 approaching Cuddington on the 11.43 Chester to Manchester Piccadilly on 16/9/91. 54236 was the rear car. Presumably 53969 was leading. David Miller.
Class 108 DMU set LO275 (cars 54256 + 53980) seen at Manchester Deansgate station in October 1991 Bob Belcher.
