17th August 1985
A two-car Class 108 formed of Driving Motor Brake Second (DMBS) M53940 & Driving Trailer Second Lavatory (DTSL) M54273, was passing the former LMS platelayers brick hut, whilst approaching Croston with a Preston to Ormskirk service on August 17th 1985. The small hut was one of the few pieces of lineside infrastructure that survived the rationalisation of the Preston to Ormskirk route when it was reduced to mainly single track status in 1970. Martyn Hilbert.

22nd August 1985
A battered 2-car class 108 DMU Derby Lightweight set stands in the austere surroundings of Colne station with the 12.42 to Preston on 22 August 1985. Once a twin platform station on the East Lancashire line linking the industrial towns of East Lancashire like Blackburn and Burnley with Skipton in North Yorkshire. The section beyond Colne to Skipton North Junction was closed on 02/02/1970 and a campaign has been going pretty much ever since to see it reopened. After the through line was truncated into a branch BR further reduced the infrastructure by single tracking from Nelson to Colne effectively making it a long siding with a station at the end. Sadly the station buildings also got leveled to be replaced with a simple stone bus shelter. Adrian Nicholls.
24th August 1985
Running along what was once the double track main line from Preston to Liverpool Exchange, a two-car Class 108 DMU formed of cars M53983 & M54266, was approaching the village of Croston with the 09.00 Preston to Ormskirk service on August 24th 1985. Martyn Hilbert.

28th August 1985
A four-car Class 108 DMU is not a bad way to traverse the Settle & Carlisle line. A southbound working is caught here at Blea Moor in the summer of 1985. The train will shortly cross Ribblehead viaduct. The closest two vehicles appear to be E53643 + E59250. Andrew Walker.
30th August 1985
The time is 11.15 a.m. on Friday 30th August 1985, and a Leeds to Carlisle service formed of a four-car DMU passes Dent station. The weather later cleared and these passengers might have had the chance to enjoy the scenery on the return run. The visibility in Dentdale was certainly minimal at this point in the day.
