Coasting down towards New Mills South Junction is a six car Swindon Cross-Country class 120 dmu formation (the closest set with a Met-Camm centre car), with a returning summer Saturday Skegness - Manchester Piccadilly working. These units were not common along here, it's possibly the only time I saw one here! Andrew J Crowther.

10th September 1985
With a friendly wave from the driver, a three-car Swindon built Class 120 Cross Country DMU with Driving Motor Brake Second M53739 leading, had just passed over Pages Crossing, South of Midge Hall with the 18.00 Preston to Ormskirk service on September 11th 1985. This was a regular turn for a Class 120 unit in 1985/86. With the passing loop at Rufford being used for its intended purpose (trains passing), the evening peak service on the Ormskirk line saw three different DMU sets in operation. The normal service unit was in use, then a West Yorkshire based set made one return trip to Ormskirk from Preston, filling-in whilst having worked from Leeds to Preston, and finally one of the Class 120 sets normally used on Blackpool North-Manchester Victoria duties, also made one return trip along the line.

Trackside at Farington Junction during a major engineering possession at Euxton on October 12th 1985. A well-filled three-car Swindon Cross Country Class 120 DMU with DMSL M53655 leading on a Blackpool North to Manchester Victoria service, was getting underway on the Up Fast, having been brought to a stand at the adjacent signal number PN052. With major remodelling work taking place at Euxton Junction, all Southbound trains were being hand signalled through the area beyond Farington Junction. The signalman and his wooden cabin can be seen between the Up Slow and Down Fast lines next to signal PN051. Martyn Hilbert.
