DMU

Date: 28th June 1980

Having arrived at Kirkham & Wesham with the 18.01 from Blackpool South, an ex Eastern Region Class 105 Power/Trailer two-car set formed of Driving Motor Brake Second M50385 & Driving Trailer Composite Lavatory M56118, was stood in the Upside platform awaiting the return with the 18.58 to Blackpool South on June 28th 1980. These were the days when the majority of services on the Coast Line were formed of units shuttling back and forth between Kirkham and Blackpool South. Although the station at Kirkham had lost its iron & glass platform canopy, the former Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway buildings in the companies favourite yellow brick style, were still in use. Martyn Hilbert.

DMU

Date: 29th June 1980

At a run-down looking Windermere terminus on a wet Summer day, Cravens Class 105 M50385 & M56118 were the rear two cars of the four-car Oxenholme to Windermere branch service on June 29th 1980. Since 1986, this part of the station has become part of a supermarket. Martyn Hilbert.
