1959
A 2-car Class 108 DMU in lined green livery sits at Banbury Merton Street station with a service to Buckingham. The station had lost it's overall roof in the 1950's and it remained open to passengers until 1961. The site of the station is now a housing estate, although the portion of dock for the siding to the right of the DMU remained in situ until the housing estate was built in 2005. David Lawrence.

A Derby Works image (negative 59/240) showing the cab of one of their units, I'm guessing a Class 108. Taken circa spring 1959, the cab shows signs of use so it does not seem to be a new vehicle. Image courtesy of Diesel Unit Preservation Associates. British Railways.

The slide is undated, the first of these vehicles with the 4-digit headcode was not delivered until 1960 and the underframe still has items in silver, so likely the 1960/1/2 period.
