27th July 1985
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.

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.
