A Class 110 and Met-Camm DMUs at Leeds in August 1985. The set on the left is a Class 111. Ian Docwra.
The Bradford-bound train on the left is formed from a 'Calder Valley' class 110 unit, while the Met-Camm on the right is on a terminating service. Taken at Keighley during August 1985. Ian Docwra.
Blackburn is a station that has changed beyond all recognition at platform level since this image on 22/08/85 showing a trio of Calder Valley class 110 power twin DMU's are seen arriving with train 1E11 the 13.05 Preston to Leeds. The one time grand 1888 built L&YR (Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway) station with its twin span trainshed roof and large yellow brick buildings was all swept away in 2000 when a new more modern station replaced it. The original frontage at street level survived in part being grade II listed but everything seen here was removed. Adrian Nicholls.
Lots of DMU variety at Manchester Victoria on 23 August 1985. Closest is a two-car Class 110 working with a two-car Met-Camm, behind them is a Class 127 parcel set. On the right is a Class 108. Jonathan Hazan.
With 45040 safely shut into the siding at Appley Bridge, a 2-car Class 110 DMU passes working the 15.20 Southport to York, a service taking 3 hours and 58 minutes. 30th August 1985. S Gaskell.
Class 110 BRC&W 'Calder Valley' DMU running as a 2-car leads a second DMU into Moston for Manchester Victoria, (not Rochdale as the blind suggests), late Autumn 1985. On Tour With the Class 13 Army.
A Class 110 DMU sits at Manchester Victoria waiting to work the 14.55 to York via Todmorden on 3 October 1985. These powerful DMU's fitted with 180hp Rolls Royce engines were synonymous with the Calder Valley route via Todmorden and the class were known as "Calder Valley sets" for many years. They had spent most of their working lives allocated to Brardford Hammerton Street Depot for use on the route between York, Leeds, Bradford and Manchester but when the shed closed in 1984 the Calder Valley sets all transferred to Neville Hill Depot in Leeds. On the right in one of the station sidings is brand new Railbus set 142 006 only a couple of weeks old in Manchester PTE livery. Sadly in this case the new Pacer train wasn't in any way a match for what it replaced. Adrian Nicholls.

The class 110 Calder Valley units were not long for this world by February 1986 so I took the opportunity for a couple of shots in the bay platforms at the east end of Manchester Victoria on the 27th of that month. The light was very low inside the cavernous station, but I was quite pleased with the atmospheric outcome. The destination blind on this somewhat grubby unit states it is off to Southport. Peter Tandy.
This shot shows not only a class 110 unit, but 142001 and one of the unique third rail Bury electrics inside Manchester Victoria on 27 February 1986. It is to my lasting regret that I didn't make any effort to record these electrics units, particularly as a lot of the line retained semaphore signalling right to the end. Peter Tandy.
This appears to be a two-car Class 110 with a two-car Class 108, at Lancaster on March 8, 1986. Stuart Mackay Collection.
A two-car Class 110 arriving at Barnsley on March 22, 1986. John Law.
For something over two years 1984-1986, Crossflatts was my station. A recent and economical new station from WYPTE and Eastern Region. I was working for WY Metropolitan County Council as a young curator against the background of miner's strike and Maggie Thatcher. I commuted a lot by train with my kerching a saverstrip. It was probably the first time in life a train was a near daily necessity. Two interesting classes of DMU regularly frequented the line. The Class 110 Calder Valley high powered sets and the Class 123/124 lash ups which were ending their days on the Morecambe services. Here a class 110 is heading west to Morecambe 24th March 1986. Robert Forsythe.
