A Derby Class 108 two-car DMU formed of cars M54258 & M53975 (N605) was passing the Cocker Bar at Ulnes Walton whilst running through the West Lancashire countryside between Midge Hall and Croston with a Preston to Ormskirk service on April 25th 1989. The set lasted in service until May 1990 and was subsequently scrapped by Booth's of Rotherham. Martyn Hilbert.
Chester based CH252 with Class 108 DTSL 54258 leading is seen at Manchester Victoria in 1990. 54258 was based at Chester between October 1989 and May 1990. Tony Walmsley.
On Easter Monday, March 31st 1986 a brief patch of sunlight on a dull morning at Midge Hall, as a 4-Car DMU with Class 108 M54259 leading forming 2T06, a day excursion from Ormskirk to Blackpool North, passes Globe Mill with the driver preparing hand the single line token to the signalman at Midge Hall box. In the foreground is the disconnected former Up line taken out of use in 1983. The rear set is a Class 104. Martyn Hilbert.
DMUs passing at Havenhouse on 14 July 1986. On the left is a Class 114, on the right Class 108 set TS205 with 54259 visible. Phil Bevan.

A two-car Class 108 DMU, M56260 and presumably M50977, in New Mills Central circa 1978. The blind suggests it is working a Manchester - New Mills service via Bredbury. Stuart Mackay Collection.
Class 108 DMU set CH271 (54260 + 53931) at Hunts Cross, 10/4/89. Sparegang.
Mistimed. Of course in retrospect, I should have waited a couple of moments for these alighting passengers to pass before releasing the shutter. It's evening one day in April 1992, and a first generation dmu (set B979, presumably 54260 + 53931) is about to get away from Bedminster station, Bristol. Most likely this is a service for Weston-super-Mare but the destination blind has not been set. That's my Raleigh "Royal" touring cycle leaning against the lamp post when it was brand new. It's still going strong today, but sadly those panniers, which gave many years of sterling service, do not survive. Tom Harper.
With Globe Mill at Midge Hall in the background, a 2-Car Class 108 with M54261 leading, passes over Narrow Lane Crossing whilst forming the 10.09 Preston to Ormskirk service on March 8th 1986. Martyn Hilbert.
DTS(L) M54261 (presumably with M53978) leads a four-car formation calling at Kent's Bank (Cumbria) with the 12:07 Lancaster-Barrow, 11/6/88. The Class 108s allocated to Carlisle Kingmoor (KD) depot were the mainstay of local services in Cumbria and North Lancashire for many years. In May 1988, shortly before this image was taken, KD closed, and the fleet was split between Heaton (HT) depot at Newcastle for Cumbian Coast / Windermere routes, and Chester (CH) for north Lancashire routes, such as the service illustrated. Graeme Phillips Collection.
Class 108 Driving Trailer Second Lavatory (DTSL) car M54261 was leading the eight-car Blackpool North to Carlisle Sunday Dalesrail service, passing Lostock Hall Junction on September 7th 1988. The service was made up of three pairs of Class 108's with a Class 104 bringing up the rear. Martyn Hilbert.
Class 108 set T210 (54261 and presumably 53978) in Derby station, circa summer 1989. Malcolm Clements.
M56262 + M50979 are seen departing Bedford with the 12.20pm service to Hitchin on 18 September 1961. Michael Mensing.
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.
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.
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.
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.
