26th April 1992
Set: CH351
M51418 of set CH351 seen at Longsight depot during the open day on the 16th April 1992. The set is missing most of the passenger doors. It had been withdrawn following a collision at Hyde North Junction on 23/8/90. Stuart Mackay.
26th April 1992
Set: LO286
By the date of this picture, Saturday April 26 1992, LO286 (51903 + 54267) was one of the few remaining first generation DMUs left working in the north west. It departs from Wigan Wallgate with the 12:04 Wigan Wallgate-Manchester. The trailer car was notable for still retaining tungsten lighting. Mel Holley.
29th April 1992
Set: S946
S946 (presumably 53939 + 52046) and S944 (presumably 52055 + 51919) departing Port Talbot Parkway with the 11:41 Cardiff - Swansea on 29 April 1992. Stuart Mackay Collection.
4th May 1992
Set: LO603
DMU set LO603 (53968+53243) is seen pulling out of Tal-y-cafn station on the Conway Valley line with the 10.25 Llandudno to Blaenau Ffestiniog on May 4, 1992. By this date the first generation DMU's were in the twilight of their careers and the leading vehicle here 53968 was withdrawn two months later on July 2nd with the trailing vehicle 54243 making it to October 1992. Adrian Nicholls.
16th May 1992
Set: LO296
A Class 108 at Moss Lane Junction, Farington (Ormskirk Line). It was a return to the old order on Preston to Ormskirk services on May 16th 1992, as a Class 108 returned to its former stamping ground due to the non-availability of a Class 142 Pacer. LO296, (53956 + 54238) is seen topping the climb from the WCML at Farington Curve Junction as it approaches the site of the former Moss Lane Junction. To the right of the unit a double track connection ran towards Lostock Hall enabling trains from East Lancashire to access Ormskirk and Liverpool. It was closed in 1972. Martyn Hilbert.
16th May 1992
Set: LO296
With the former Jubilee Mill in the background, Class 108 set LO296 (53956 & 54238) departs from Croston whilst working the 15.08 Ormskirk to Preston on May 16th 1992. Once a familiar sight on these services, this was probably the last visit of a Derby built class 108 to the line. In the intervening years Jubilee Mill has been demolished and a housing development now covers the site. Martyn Hilbert.
16th May 1992
Set: LO280
A heavily loaded class 108 DMU (LO280 presumably 53971 + 54504) arrives Blackburn on 16-5-92. Spannerman37025.
16th May 1992
Set: LO296
With Midge Hall in the far distance, a Class 108 two-car DMU formed of cars 53956 & 54238, was passing the Oil Seed Rape at Cocker Bar with the 16.03 Preston to Ormskirk service on May 16th 1992. Martyn Hilbert.
16th May 1992
Set: LO296
Standing-in for a failed Class 142 Pacer, the old order returned to the Ormskirk line for possibly the last time on May 16th 1992. A scabby looking Class 108 formed of cars 53956 & 54238 (LO296) was passing through the long-closed platforms at Midge Hall whilst working the 12.23 Preston to Ormskirk service. Martyn Hilbert.
16th May 1992
Set: LO296
Substituting for the non-availablity of a class 142, a Class 108 2-Car DMU returned to its old stamping ground on 16th May 1992. With car 54238 leading, 53956 behing, the 08.21 Ormskirk to Preston Service has just returned the single-line token at Midge Hall signalbox. The unit is about to pass through the derelict platforms of the former station, closed in 1961. This was possibly the last occasion when a Class 108 worked along here - possibly also the last visit of a first generation DMU. Martyn Hilbert.
16th May 1992
Set: LO296
On possibly the last occasion that a first generation DMU worked along the Preston to Ormskirk line, a Class 108 with car 54238 trailing and DMBS 53956 leading has just collected the token from the signalman at Midge Hall, whilst working from Preston to Ormskirk on May 16th 1992. The unit was deputising for a failed Class 142 Pacer. Martyn Hilbert.
16th May 1992
Set: LO296
Deputising for a failed Class 142 Pacer, the old order is restored probably for the last time on May 16th 1992, as a worn-looking Class 108 was working the Preston to Ormskirk services. Set LO296 formed of cars 54238 & 53956 is seen here approaching the token exchange at Midge Hall with the 09.38 Ormskirk to Preston. In the foreground are the remains of the pointwork where the double line, kept in use from Farington Curve Junction to Midge Hall until 1983, ended. The turnout onto the single line had by this date been replaced with plain rail. The worn-out disused line back towards Farington was kept in-situ for a number of years but was progressively recovered between 1988 & 1992. Martyn Hilbert.
17th May 1992
Set: L490
Set L490 (53599 and presumably 59734 + 51572) working ECS through Reading station on 17th May 1992. Steve Carter.
20th May 1992
Set: S951
Class 108 DMU set S951 (presumably 52041 + 53935) at Paignton with the 12:55 to Exeter Central on 20 May 1992. Stuart Mackay Collection.
23rd May 1992
Class 108 51901 + 54276 and Class 101 51247 + 54387 leaves Hellifield on what may be a Leeds-Morecambe service on 23 May 1992. Lewis Bevan.
24th May 1992
Set: 396
Seeing out its last days in the West Country and with Eastern Region 'E' prefixes on its car numbers, Class 108 two-car set number 396, formed of cars E53947 + E53633, were stabled between duties at Exeter St Davids on May 24th 1992. The leading car was originally a Driving Trailer Composite Lavatory car, but had been downgraded to an all second, but retaining the first class seating in the front saloon. The set was withdrawn from service just a few weeks after this image was recorded, in June 1992, and was subsequently scrapped by Gwent Demolition at Margam. Martyn Hilbert.
26th May 1992
Set: 396
The buildings on The Strand (A379) form a backdrop to a Class 108 DMU formed of cars 53633 & 53947, departing from Starcross with the 06.58 Paignton to Exmouth service on May 26th 1992. Above the rear car is the 'Atomospheric Railway Inn', a reminder that this stretch of railway was part of Brunels atmospheric system that was in operation between 1847-1849. Martyn Hilbert.
27th May 1992
Set: L490
NSE-liveried DMU set L490 on Reading depot on 27 May 1992. Closest is Class 108 DMCL 51572, the centre car is presumably Class 115 59734. John Law.

Set: L490
NSE-liveried DMU set L490 on Reading depot on 27 May 1992. Closest is Class 108 DMBS 53599, the centre car is presumably Class 115 59734. John Law.
