Billed as the last BR train to run from Bury to Rawtenstall, Curious locals have come out to witness the passage of the six-car DMU awaiting to proceed past Ramsbottom on February 14th 1981. With Class 104 Driving Motor Composite M50505 leading, the train crew are heading for the still extant signalbox to open the level crossing gates on Bridge Street. The last Coal train to Rawtenstall had traversed the line in December 1980. The home signal on its bracket looked faded and woebegone. Running from Manchester Victoria at 11.05, the train was formed of a Class 104 and a Class 105 power-twin that had a centre trailer car inserted specially for the tour. The individual cars were M50505, M59161, M50453 + M50761, 59207, M50794. This would have been the first passenger carrying DMU to visit the line since regular passenger services had been withdrawn in June 1972. Martyn Hilbert.

A view along the then double track Ormskirk route on Farington Moss with a Class 104 on the 11.55 Ormskirk to Preston service on a warm May 11th 1981. The two-car DMU is running between the occupation crossings at Naptha Lane and Lodge Lane, the then full-height chimney at the former Moss's Cotton Mill in Lostock Hall is prominent in this flat landscape. Closest is DTSL M56176 working with DMBS M50535. Martyn Hilbert.
13th May 1981
With the token exchange underway, Ormskirk services were passing at Rufford at tea-time on May 13th 1981. Cravens Class 105 Power-Twin formed of cars M50804 & M50765 were working a Preston to Ormskirk service whilst Class 104 M50534 & M56177 was heading in the opposite direction with an Ormskirk to Preston service. These were the days when additional services ran at the morning and evening peak and necessitated the use of the passing loop at Rufford. Martyn Hilbert.

Manchester Piccadilly on 25th May 1981. Platform 3 has a Hadfield 1500dc class 506 emu, with possibly a Park Royal built Class 103 dmu, platform 4 has a Cravens class 105 dmu, platform 5 holds a rake of MK1 locomotive hauled stock probably on a service from/to the Western Region, platform 6 was my regular platform as the Buxton trains left from here, as can be seen a Buxton allocated BRC&W Class 104 is in the platform.
