In refurbished DMU white livery, a two-car Class 108 DMU stands at Bamber Bridge with the 13.46 Colne to Preston service on July 30th 1981. The leading car is M52054 complete with its first class saloon behind the cab. Looking at the cab front the car has been in the wars, and a piece of plywood across the former headcode box typifies the state that many of the local DMUs were in around this period. Martyn Hilbert.

31st May 1988
Set: P955
A worn looking Derby Class 108 two-car DMU formed of cars 52054 & presumably 51933 (Plymouth Laira Set P955), was stood at Starcross with the 16.45 Exmouth to Paignton service on May 31st 1988. With the transfer of the Devon & Cornwall Class 142 'Skipper' fleet North, a number of first generation DMU sets went as replacements. Many of the sets were past their best with cars cobbled together from serviceable examples around the country, and were a stop-gap until Class 150/2 & Class 155 Sprinters were constructed in enough quantities to allow the ageing DMU fleet to be finally retired in the period 1989-1990. Martyn Hilbert.

Set: 955
CRS 'China Clay Rambler' at Pontsmill, 28/04/90, formed of a two and three-car Class 108, set 955 at this end (52054 and presumably 51933). A classic Cornish DMU railtour is seen at the northern extremity of the the Pontsmill branch. This short freight only branch and once part of the 1841 built Treffry Tramway left the Newquay branch just north of St.Blazey and served the English China Clay Co. Pontsmill kiln driers. The area was once a hive of activity for the local mineral traffic with several incline planes in the area but this dwindled down to just the china clay from the 1960's which in turn ceased two years after this photo was taken. The last train of dried clay leaving on 21/04/92. The line faced an uncertain future but did live on into the late 1990's as the preferred spot to stable the Royal Train overnight when Prince Charles visited his Duchy of Cornwall. Adrian Nicholls.
28th April 1990
Set: 955
CRS 'China Clay Rambler' tour at Fowey Docks. Cornwall. 28/04/90. The 2+3-car class 108 DMU formation used on the Cornish Railway Society "China Clay Rambler" railtour is seen in the china clay covered Carne Point Yard at Fowey Docks. Most tours that traversed the Fowey branch never got beyond the BR/ECC Ltd boundary but the CRS seemed to be able to reach parts of the network nobody else could. This tour was a freight only track bashers dream as it also visited Nanpean Wharf at Drinnick Mill, another rare location for a railtour to penetrate along with other such delights as the Par Harbour, St.Dennis ballast tip, Parkandillack, Pontsmill and part of the closed Carbis Wharf branch. Closest is set 955, 52054 and presumably 51933. Adrian Nicholls.
