LO281 at Heysham Port (then called Heysham Sea Terminal) on the 12.40 to Stockport on 2/8/91. From photographs on this site of 51419 and 54273, the front car is neither of them. David Miller.
LO282
27th July 1991
54262
The two differing cab designs of Derby class 108 units face to face - 54262 on the right multied up with 54484 on the left at Manchester Victoria on 27/Jul/1991. Note the unorthodox station name scrawled on the slightly unfortunately placed lamp post! Robert Chilton.
27th July 1991
53626
Longsight's class 108 set no. LO282 formed 53626 - 54262 having just arrived at Manchester Victoria on a bright sunny scorching 27 July 1991. Robert Chilton.
29th July 1991
Set LO282 at Northwich on 29/7/91, on the 08.28 Chester to Manchester Piccadilly, which was timed to wait here for 15 minutes. Presumably 53626 and 54262. David Miller.
LO285
1991
54236
Class 108 sets LO257 (presumably 53970) and LO285 (presumably 54236 + 53969) are seen at Manchester Piccadilly in late 1991. Simon Barnes.

LO286
26th April 1992
51903
By the date of this picture, Saturday April 26 1992, LO286 (51903 + 54267) was one of the few remaining first generation DMUs left working in the north west. It departs from Wigan Wallgate with the 12:04 Wigan Wallgate-Manchester. The trailer car was notable for still retaining tungsten lighting. Mel Holley.
LO287
31st August 1991
54203
A stranger in the camp at Bilbrook on the Shrewsbury to Wolverhampton line during the morning of 31 August 1991. The 2 car class 108 (LO287, presumably 54203 + 51911) still was allocated to Longsight at this time and I imagine that it had been borrowed by Chester depot to fill in for the lack of a set from Tyseley, the usual source for trains between Wolverhampton and Chester. Much of This line was controlled with mechanical signalling at this time and Bilbrook signalbox is just visible behind the bushes on the right hand side of the line. The destination panel in the unit's cab reads "Chester" although the train isn't far from its Wolverhampton destination. Peter Tandy.
LO290
29th August 1992
53987
Seeing out its final stint of operation before withdrawal, and having an extended life due to errant Class 142's, a Longsight allocated Derby Class 108 two-car DMU formed of cars M53987 & M54270 (LO290), was climbing Farington Curve with the 08.31 Preston to Colne service on August 29th 1992. The DMBS M53987 was officially stored in December 1992 and finally withdrawn in January 1993. The trailer M54270 went on to be paired with a Class 101 DMBS (M53291) and was not withdrawn until June 1993. Following withdrawal, both M53987 & M54270 passed into preservation. M54270 is now at the Mid Norfolk Railway, whilst M53987 went to the Midland Railway Centre at Butterley, where it was used for spare parts and was eventually scrapped in 1998. Martyn Hilbert.

LO296
16th May 1992
53956
A Class 108 at Moss Lane Junction, Farington (Ormskirk Line). It was a return to the old order on Preston to Ormskirk services on May 16th 1992, as a Class 108 returned to its former stamping ground due to the non-availability of a Class 142 Pacer. LO296, (53956 + 54238) is seen topping the climb from the WCML at Farington Curve Junction as it approaches the site of the former Moss Lane Junction. To the right of the unit a double track connection ran towards Lostock Hall enabling trains from East Lancashire to access Ormskirk and Liverpool. It was closed in 1972. Martyn Hilbert.
