56262
18th September 1961
A (blue square) Derby Lightweight twin (M56262 seems to be the closest vehicle, if so the DMBS is 50979) after arrival at Bedford Midland Road on 19 September 1961. It will depart on the 10.45am to Hitchin. Michael Mensing.
19th September 1961
A (blue square) Derby Lightweight twin (M56262 seems to be the DTCL which was paired with 50979) working the 10.45am Bedford Midland Road to Hitchin on 19 September 1961. Taken south of Bedford on the crossing to the singled line. Michael Mensing.
circa early 1962
A London Midland Region publicity image (negative D4878) showing a two-car Blue Square Derby Lightweight unit at Syston on the Midland Main Line. Closest is M56262, presumably paired with original partner M50979. The pair had a nomadic existence in their early years being allocated to Newton Heath, Bedford, Toton, Fleetwood, Newton Heath again then Buxton - all the first four years! The location suggests it was taken during its time at Toton which was December 1961 to May 1962. British Railways.
circa 1984
A class 108 (DTCL 54262 nearest camera, presumably 53955) works a local service on the Cumbrian Coast line at Drigg - c.1984. 53A Models of Hull Collection.
4th May 1987
Having just passed under the bridge at Flag Lane, a tidy-looking two-car Class 108 formed of cars 54262 & 53955 was running along the last few yards of the Ormskirk route as it approached Farington Curve Junction whilst working the 11.10 Ormskirk to Blackpool South service on May 4th 1987. With the East Lancashire route in the foreground, a Class 104 DMU is visible through the left hand bridge span on a Colne to Preston working, waiting at signal PN522 for the 108 to clear the junction. Martyn Hilbert.
11th July 1987
Two two-car Class 108s with 54262 leading (presumably with 53955) at Selside on the Settle and Carlisle line, with Penyghent on the left. 11-7-87. Ian Cuthbertson Collection.
17th April 1989
One of the then ubiquitous Class 108 DMUs, long associated with the Cumbrian Coast route, calls at Drigg station 17/04/1989. The last two digits of the driver trailer can be made out as 62, making this 54262, which should be paired with 53955 at this time. Graeme Phillips Collection.
23rd August 1989
54262 and 53955 awaiting departure at Newcastle with the 17:24 Newcastle - Hexham on Wednesday 23rd August 1989. The Heaton (HT) depot sticker, depicting the Tyne bridge, is clearly visible below the car number, which by this time has no regional prefix. This rush hour service was cancelled more often than not, probably due to lack of train unit, resulting in the 1715 Newcastle-Girvan (a ScotRail Class 156) being delayed to depart at 1724 and having to call at stations to Hexham. Graeme Phillips.
27th August 1990
54262 + 53955 at Workington with the 09:43 Carlisle - Barrow service on August 27, 1990. Hamish Stevenson.
27th July 1991
Set: LO282
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.
56263
8th September 1979
Two intending passengers greet the arrival of a two-car Class 108 DMU formed of cars M56263 & M50980 as it arrives at Croston with an Ormskirk to Preston service on September 8th 1979. The station although heavily rationalised still retained its LMS concrete lamps on the single remaining operational platform on this one-time main line. The chimney in the background formed part of the brickworks that was once rail-served. Martyn Hilbert.
21st June 1980
A Class 108 formed of cars M56263 & M50973 arrives at Burscough Junction with the 12.57 Preston to Ormskirk on 21st June 1980. The station had an ever so long down platform complete with a bay, both a legacy from the days when Burscough Junction was on the former double track ex L&Y mainline between Preston & Liverpool Exchange. The connection was still in from Burscough Bridge serving the MOF warehouses through the gate on the right. Martyn Hilbert.
21st June 1980
In blue/grey livery Class 108 M56263 & M50973 awaits departure from Burscough Junction with the 13.37 Ormskirk to Preston on June 21st 1980. To the right of the 108 is the disused former Up line, and platform and just visible in the distance on the far right is the siding connection to the MOF warehouses, linked via a flat crossing over the Ormskirk route and accessed from Burscough Bridge via the now lifted South Curve. Martyn Hilbert.
6th June 1984
Despite the tail lights being switched on, and the destination blind showing 'Blackpool', the two-car Class 108 formed of cars M56263 & M50973 was arriving at Kirkham & Wesham with the service from Blackpool South on June 6th 1984. These were the days when the Coast Line from Kirkham was operated by a shuttle service that started/terminated at Kirkham. Martyn Hilbert.

May 1988
Set: N602
