Unknown date
E51820 is the rear vehicle on this BRC&W Class 110 set departing from Sheffield. Date unknown. Stuart Mackay Collection.
18th June 1978
A Class 110 DMU with E51820 closest in platform 3 at Doncaster on 19 June 1978. MARK LEVING.
5th June 1982
Coming out of a thunderstorm on a very murky day, a 10-Car DMU formation was climbing Farington Curve, heading for home with a Blackpool North to Leeds service on June 5th 1982. The leading set is a three-car Class 110 with E51820 leading. Behind the Calder Valley is a four-car Metro-Cammell Class 111, with a three-car Class 111 at the rear. The 110 units were daily visitors to Preston and Blackpool during the 1970's and the early 1980's on the daily Leeds-Blackpool North and return service that ran via Copy Pit and Blackburn. During weekdays a three-car set would suffice, but on Summer Saturdays the train would be formed of additional units as seen in this view. Martyn Hilbert.
