23rd July 1985
Getting ready to collect the single line token, a Class 108 'Derby Lightweight' two-car DMU formed of cars M51901 & M52059 was approaching Midge Hall with a Preston to Ormskirk service on July 23rd 1985. The unit is passing through the abandoned Down platform of Midge Hall station that closed in October 1961. To the right of the 108 is the disused former Up line that was kept in-situ from Farington Curve Junction on the WCML until August 1983, when renewal was necessary and the cost of replacement could not be justified on this former main line. Until the 1980's, Midge Hall and its level crossing was in a rural location, but the expansion of the town Leyland at its Western extremity is seeing new housing being built nearby, and would be a perfect opportunity to reopen Midge Hall station again. An image recorded from the level crossing. Martyn Hilbert.

Having just collected the single line token (the hoop & pouch visible in the cab window), Class 108 Driving Motor Brake Second (DMBS) M51941 was accelerating away from Midge Hall with a Preston to Ormskirk service on July 23rd 1985. The home signal that protects the level crossing in the Down direction, is the last remaining semaphore in the Preston area. Until 1983, the section between Farington Curve Junction on the WCML and Midge Hall was double track, and the pointwork where the former Up line became single track is located between the two cars of the unit. Martyn Hilbert.

Derby built Class 108 Driving Trailer Second Lavatory (DTSL) M52064 was arriving at Rufford whilst leading a Preston to Ormskirk service on July 25th 1985. The car was one of the final batch of Class 108's built at Derby in 1961 and was the penultimate vehicle constructed of a total of 333 cars built to various configurations. M52064 has survived into preservation at the Severn Valley Railway. Martyn Hilbert.

A two-car Class 108 with Driving Motor Second Lavatory (DMSL) M51565 leading, was accelerating away from Croston with the a Preston to Ormskirk service on July 27th 1985. The unit is passing the remains of the loading gauge at what was once the southern end of the goods yard at Croston, in the days when this route was the double track main line between Preston-Ormskirk-Liverpool Exchange. The loading gauge with its concrete post stood watch here for many years, but has now gone, new housing now comes right up to the railway boundary. Martyn Hilbert.
