A Pressed Steel built Class 117 3-Car Suburban Unit, T308 with Driving Motor Second 51413 leading (presumably with 59509 + 51371), was stood at Lostock Hall with the Sunday Preston to Carlisle 'DalesRail' service on July 2nd 1988. Running via Blackburn and Clitheroe, this service ran along the Ribble Valley line prior to regular passenger services being reinstated in 1991. Martyn Hilbert.
A Tyseley allocated Pressed Steel built Class 117 3-car Suburban DMU formed of cars 51413, 59509 and 51371, was passing under Watkin Lane bridge as it arrived at Lostock Hall with a Preston to Carlisle 'Dalesrail' service on July 2nd 1988. Complete with its Tyseley TS308 board in the offside cab window, the set was on temporary loan to Newton Heath during the period when the class 142 Pacer fleet was in a state of flux due to ongoing reliability issues, and before new class 150/2 Sprinters had arrived in sufficent quantities. This particular set was the last Class 117 to remain in operation on the national network, and following withdrawal in 1996, the driving cars were eventually converted as water jetting vehicles for use with Chiltern Railways and returned to BR green livery. They were finally withdrawn in 2015, and both cars have survived into preservation. Martyn Hilbert.

DMU set 117 308 (51413 + 59509 + 51371) arriving at Boston with the 08.07 Nottingham to Skegness on 27 July 1991. BR's Regional Railways sector was used to receiving cast offs from elsewhere. With the arrival of Sprinters in the late 1980s on the WR, then Network Turbo sets in the London area from 1990, what had once been a class solely used on WR suburban services, the class 117 DMU sets suddenly started to get transferred to Tyseley Depot in Birmingham from 1987 in increasing numbers. This particular set wasn't a Network South-East cast off, and had previously been Provincial Sector stock allocated to Bristol Bath Road depot with the set number B433. It moved to TS on 10/01/88 as their set T308. As one of a small batch of 117s selected for extended life overhaul, it emerged from works in April 1991 in Regional Railways livery. To differentiate the overhauled sets from the un-refurbished ones, they were given full TOPS class numbers and this one became 117 308. Adrian Nicholls.

Class 117 DMU set L434 (presumably 51414 + 59479 + 51372) departs from Maidenhead station with an Oxford service. The set was refurbished in June 1978, and became P434 when it moved to Laira in November 1980, so with the bare trees this was likely taken in early 1980. Stuart Mackay Collection.
