Set: LO298
Old and new at a wet Manchester Victoria on October 17th 1991. The two-car Class 108 formed of cars 54247 & 53964, had been given a retro BR Green livery in 1986 whilst based at Carlisle Kingmoor, and was initially used on the Settle - Carlisle line. The unit was eventually transferred to Chester Depot, then became Longsight set LO298. Alongside was 142030 on a service to Wigan Wallgate. Martyn Hilbert.
23rd December 1991
Set: LO298
With just two days to go before Christmas, and in very poor light, a work worn 2-Car Class 108 in retro BR green livery formed of cars M54247 & M53964, was stood at the small single track terminus at Rose Hill Marple with a service to Manchester Piccadilly on December 23rd 1991. The set had once been a long-term resident of Carlisle Kingmoor Depot and was one of the regular 108's used on the Cumbrian Coast Line, complete with window bars on the droplights due to restricted clearances on the Coast Line between Carlisle and Maryport. In 1986, the set was returned to a retro BR green style livery and was used regularly on the Settle to Carlisle route. The set subsequently had spells allocated to Heaton, Neville Hill and Chester, finally being transferred to Longsight in the latter part of 1991. The set was withdrawn from service in July 1992 and scrapped by Booth's of Rotherham in 1993. Martyn Hilbert.
23rd December 1991
Set: LO298
On platform 1 in the Manchester Piccadilly of old that looked quite run-down, two days before Christmas on December 23rd 1991, Green liveried Class 108 54247 & 53964 which was being used for services to Marple Rose Hill, was sharing platform space with a Strathclyde Class 101 that was forming a working to Marple, the car just visible was 53160. The ex-Strathclyde orange liveried Class 101's kept their bright livery as it was a close match for the Greater Manchester PTE colours carried by Class 142's 142001-142014 and most of the local bus fleet. Just appearing on the left is 158754 which was then a two-car unit. Martyn Hilbert.

56250
14th October 1978
With the former East Lancashire entrance building in Butler Street on the skyline, a pair of two-car Carlisle Kingmoor allocated Class 108's were stood at the North end of platform 5 at Preston on October 14th 1978. The nearest set was formed of Driving Trailer Composite Lavatory (DTCL) M56250 coupled with Driving Motor Brake Second (DMBS) M50967. The units had bars on the droplights due to limited clearances on the Cumbrian Coast line between Maryport and Carlisle. On February 5th 1988, M56250 was involved in a collision at Carnforth with an engineers wagon, and it ended its days grounded at Carnforth Midland Bottom End Yard until it was scrapped on site. Martyn Hilbert.
5th May 1984
A two-car Class 108 DMU with Driving Trailer 54250 leading (and presumably with DMBS 53967), was accelerating away from Kirkham North Junction on the last lap of its 12 mile journey along the Coast Line with the 10.30 Blackpool South to Kirkham service on May 5th 1984. These were the days when the Coast Line via Lytham was still double track and other than a through working to Manchester Victoria on a Weekday morning and a corresponding return service in an evening, the core service ran between Blackpool South & Kirkham only, with the units utilising the reversing siding located beyond the East end of the platform at Kirkham station.
