In a then everyday scene, with rolling stock that now is no longer in service, this was the view from the footbridge at Manchester Piccadilly on February 28th 1992 before the station roof was given a refurbishment. Regional Railways liveried Class 305 305507 was awaiting departure with a service to Glossop and Hadfield, while in platform 1 was a two-car Class 108 formed of cars M54275 & M51421 (LO253), on a service to New Mills Central. Martyn Hilbert.
Seeing out its last days working from Longsight Depot as set LO253, and working mainly on local services from Manchester Piccadilly, Class 108 cars M54275 & M51421 were awaiting departure from platform 1 at Piccadilly with a service to New Mills Central on February 28th 1992. They (and other life-expired first generation units), were kept in service due to the then ongoing problems with the Class 142 Pacer fleet. Martyn Hilbert.

Class 108 DTS 54277, set number T211 (and TS211 in the window), is seen inside the factory at Tyseley on 16.05.1987. Note it still retains a working set of blinds despite being 1987. Andy Cole.
On the afternoon of 7 September 1987 two of Tyseley's two-car Class 108 sets led by T211 (54277 and presumably 53943) were photographed climbing the 1/75 of Wilmcote Bank a short distance from Stratford-upon-Avon. The leading DTS was possibly unique at the time as it still had operational headcode blinds although I'm not sure what the code carried on this run represented. Later, on the run to Stratford from Leamington Spa it had changed to display the set number. These shots were a bonus as I was in this spot for a picture of 47628 with the VSOE on its way from Stratford to London Victoria. Peter Tandy.
