22nd July 1983
Buxton based BRC&W class 104 3 car dmu BX480 (M53426, M59152, M53474), is seen under the 1500DC wires arriving at platform 3 at Dinting, whilst working a direct peak hours only Hadfield-Manchester Piccadilly service, 22nd July 1983. Andrew J Crowther.
29th June 1985
The passengers on the Poynton Parish Puffa were treated at Stratford-upon-Avon to a visit by the steam locomotive 46229 Duchess of Hamilton on 29 June 1985 although I don't recall taking any pictures of this. The return working of the steam special left a short while before the DMU (BX480, presumably 53474/59152/53420 and BX496, presumably 52062/59155/51947) went back to Cheshire and I photographed the latter from the window of the signal box. The industrial units in the background are the site of the erstwhile Stratford-upon-Avon shed and coaling stage. The entire backdrop is virtually unrecognisable nowadays and the signal box itself was demolished many years ago. Peter Tandy.
Do you have any images of the set you can add?
