A two-car class 108 headed by DMBS 53621 waits time at Bradford Forster Square before heading off for Keighley, 16/8/85. Robert Chilton.
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.
Two 2-car sets depart Manchester Piccadilly on the 17th August 1985, 51422 being the closest vehicle. Malcolm Clements.
51936 was part of set BX493 when seen at Manchester Piccadilly on 17/8/85. Malcolm Clements.
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.
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.
M51950 at the front of a Peak Rail Rambler special at Buxton on 26th August 1985. The other vehicles in set BX497 should be 59149 + 52065, the Class 104 to the right includes M59195. Stuart Mackay Collection.
A Peak Rail special at Buxton, about to depart for New Mills via the Peak Forest line, normally freight-only, 26th August 1985. It is formed of set BX497, presumably with 51950 closest. Jonathan Hazan.
A Class 108 DMU (BX497, presumably 52065 + 59149 + 51950) at New Mills Central, having arrived on a Peak Rail Rambler service from Buxton over the normally freight-only line. 26th August 1985. Jonathan Hazan.
A Class 108 DMU (BX497, presumably 52065 + 59149 visible) at Buxton on a Peak Rail Rambler service to New Mills Central. Also shown - class 31 no. 31127. Taken on 26th August 1985. Jonathan Hazan.
This Carlisle-Leeds service appears to be carrying plenty of passengers as it approaches Horton-in-Ribblesdale on a rather overcast 28 August 1985. Andrew Walker.
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.
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. Andrew Walker.
With the blind already set for the return journey, Buxton "White Roofed" allocated Derby built 1960 class 108 dmu BX490 (M51927 + M59390 + M52049) rolls into Manchester Piccadilly, with a service from Buxton on 31st August 1985. Andrew J Crowther.
BR (Derby) Class 108 2-car Local Passenger dmu Set No.B964 (54204 and presumably 53614) approaching Lawrence Hill on a Bristol (Temple Meads) - Taunton service, 09/85. Hugh Llewelyn.
