A Derby built Class 108 2-car DMU is stabled between duties in Southport carriage sidings on the 10th July 1988.

Most of the railway infrastructure behind the DMU has now been swept away and replaced by a retail park. Visible are the toilet blocks and the faded maroon & cream staff cabin on the disused excursion platforms, the coal depot, the loco shed, and the stable blocks for the former goods yard.
