Buxton station on Saturday 2 September 1978 with a 6-car Class 104 formation about to depart. According to my notes these will be 50427/59138/50440, 50421/59148/50490 and 59198. There are 3 trailer cars listed here, but only 2 3-car units in my photo and I can only guess that the "extra" trailer was visible at the diesel depot. The Class 08 on the right will be 08611 and a Class 40 is also just visible; there were 4 Class 40s at Buxton on this day. Lewis Bevan.

A two-car BRCW Class 104 DMU formed of cars M53427 and presumably M53474 was topping the climb from Farington Curve Junction at Lodge Lane on Farington Moss with a Preston to Ormskirk service on March 4th 1988. The partly dismantled former Up Line, taken of use in 1983 is visible alongside the 104. To the right of the this view was the site of the former Moss Lane Junction. Until 1972 there was a useful connecting double track link from the Ormskirk Line to Lostock Hall on the East Lancashire line which once enabled trains to run direct from Liverpool to East Lancashire. The link was the also the route that most stopping Preston to Ormskirk/Liverpool Exchange services used, via the now dismantled East Lancashire 'Preston Extension' via Todd Lane Junction. With the passage of time, this once open view is now completely tree-lined. Martyn Hilbert.
No details came with this slide which has a process date of May 1988. It shows Newton Heath allocated set N674 with 53427 leading what looks like three 2-car Class 104s, the headboard and sign in the window read "Rail Rambler". It's passing Leyburn station on the Redmire branch and could be a BR organised excursion from Middlesbrough on May 2nd. Stuart Mackay Collection.
Two BRC&W triple sets in Newchapel and Goldenhill station with the 4.18pm Macclesfield - Wolverhampton (High Level) service on 28 September 1963. M50428 is closest, M50514 is at the far end. The station was on the Potteries Loop Line which closed in 1964. Michael Mensing.
A Class 104 BRCW twin approaches Preston with the empty stock of the 15:38 Preston to Ormskirk service on Friday 3rd June 1983. The leading vehicle is M53428 is a Driving Motor Brake 2nd originally numbered M50428 but renumbered into the M53xxx series to avoid duplication of numbers. Ormskirk had once been an intermediate station on the main line from Liverpool Exchange to Preston and the north. Electric services were extended from Liverpool as far as Ormskirk in 1913. However, following the re-routing of all long distance services to and from the north into Lime Street, an enforced change of trains at Ormskirk became the norm. Brian McDevitt.
Two plain blue Class 104 DMBSs and a blue/grey Class 120 centre car; 53428 + 59256 + 53451 at Manchester Victoria on 24-11-84. On Tour With the Class 13 Army.
The reason I took this at the time is because it was the only BRC&W vehicle, definitely in the Northwest, that still retained its original two-figure route indicator which necessitated the use of a tail lamp, as seen here. Seen leaving Manchester Victoria ECS after arrival from Liverpool, allocated to Newton Heath M53428 was withdrawn a few months later. 13th July 1985. Andrew J Crowther.
