Set: EP503
A Class 120 hybrid set drifts through the West Lancashire countryside at Cocker Bar between Midge Hall and Ulnes Walton with the 17.55 Preston to Ormskirk service on June 25th 1985. The former Derby Etches Park set EP503 was formed of two Class 120 Swindon built driving cars and a Class 101 centre trailer car. This particular out and back service on the Ormskirk line was regularly diagrammed for a Class 120 during this period. The sets were normally used on Manchester to Blackpool North services. Martyn Hilbert.
29th June 1985
Set: EP522
On a damp June 29th 1985, a Derby Etches Park (EP522) Swindon 'Cross-Country' Class 120 DMU, with Driving Motor Second Lavatory (DMSL) M53678 leading, was stabled between duties in the now removed bay platform on the East side of Stafford station alongside Railway Street. This was taken during the period of the Crewe Remodelling project when no trains were serving Crewe and many services were starting and terminating at Stafford, with all through services on the WCML using the normally freight only Crewe Independent Lines that bypass Crewe station. Martyn Hilbert.
29th June 1985
A three-car Swindon Class 120 DMU with Driving Motor Composite M53741 leading, was stood in the North facing bay at Stafford with a service to Derby on June 29th 1985. This was during the period when the Crewe Remodelling project was underway with no trains being able to use Crewe station. Martyn Hilbert.
29th June 1985
A hybrid Class 120 three-car set with DMBS M53702 and including a centre trailer coach from a Class 101, passes the Orchard at the rear of Cocker Bar Farm as it runs between Midge Hall and Croston whilst working the 17.55 Preston to Ormskirk service on June 29th 1985. This particular service was diagrammed for a Class 120 set that was usually employed on Manchester Victoria to Blackpool North workings, and had a tea-time out and back run on the Ormskirk route. (The destination blind is still showing Blackpool North). These were the days when the passing loop was utilised at Rufford and an intensive service was used at the late afternoon/early evening peak, when four different DMU sets were used on the Preston to Ormskirk services. Martyn Hilbert.

28th July 1985
A three-car Swindon Cross-Country DMU with Driving Motor Brake Second (DMBS) M51578 leading (and centre car 59580), was arriving at Rufford with a Preston to Ormskirk service on July 25th 1985. These were the days when during the evening peak, the passing loop at Rufford enabled two units to pass. There used to be three different DMU's that worked to Ormskirk in that late afternoon/early evening period. The first, in the late afternoon would be a West Yorkshire set (101 or 110) that had worked to Preston from Leeds, whilst the second would be the regular unit that had been running back and forth all day, the third being a Class 120 off a Manchester - Blackpool working, bringing the non- too common sight of a Swindon Cross-Country DMU to the Ormskirk line. Martyn Hilbert.
29th July 1985
A Class 120/101/120 hybrid at Winwick Junction on 29 July 1985. DMSL 53675 leads, it was allocated to Chester, the other two are presumably 59091 and 53716. Chris Thorp.

2nd August 1985
Set: EP503
A hybrid Swindon Cross-Country 3-Car DMU set (Formerly Derby Etches Park Depot set EP503) with W51573 leading, departs from Kirkham with Manchester Victoria to Blackpool South tea-time through service on August 2nd 1985. Sandwiched between the two Class 120 driving cars was a Metro-Cammell Class 101 trailer car. This viewpoint including the semaphore signal has now gone, a six-foot palisade fence now segregates the running lines from the cobbled road to the former goods yard. Martyn Hilbert.

29th August 1985
On a tea-time filling in turn, a three-car Swindon Cross Country Class 120 DMU with a Driving Motor Second Lavatory (DMSL) leading, was passing the Cocker Bar at Ulnes Walton whilst running between Midge Hall and Croston with a Preston to Ormskirk service on August 29th 1985. These were the days when the passing loop was utilised at Rufford, and in the evening peak, three different DMU sets operated the Preston to Ormskirk services. The service was strengthened by one out-and-back working of a unit that had worked from Leeds to Preston and often brought the sight of a WYPTE Class 101 or a 110 to West Lancashire, whilst the service seen in this view was a Blackpool North to Manchester Victoria unit that made one trip to Ormskirk and back, bringing relative luxury first generation DMU style to the Ormskirk branch! Martyn Hilbert.
