circa 1988
Class 108 S947 (presumably 53942 + 51567) is seen at Knighton, with Crewe on the blinds. Circa 1988. Tom Clift.
1989
Set S947 arrives at Gowerton in 1989. The first two vehicles are presumably 53942 and Met-Camm trailer brake 59050, 51567 should be on the rear. John Law.
20th October 1990
I have very few photographs taken at Crewe and this is certainly my only after-dark shot from there. It shows class 108 set S947 (51567 + 53621) leading another unrecorded Class 101 set in platform 7 waiting to leave with an evening train to Shrewsbury on 20 October 1990. My notes say that it was a 15 second exposure on medium format 400asa TRI-X film at an aperture of f5.6 with the camera resting on my camera box. I had been out and about on the Network North-West day and hadn't want to lumber myself with the additional weight of my heavy tripod. Peter Tandy.
2nd January 1992
Class 108 set S947 (51567 + 53621) waiting at Crewe to form a Crewe-Swansea service on 2nd January 1992. Standing next to Class 158, 158758. David Slack.
29th July 1992
A two-car Class 108 DMU at Severn Beach on 29 July 1992. Carrying set S947 the vehicle closest is presumably 51567, transferred from Swansea to Cardiff in March of that year, in September it would move to its final allocation of Longsight. Alan Grange.
