Set: BN457
Class 104 BRC&W 9-car unit (set BN457 closest) at Morecambe station on an excursion. A really smart looking Birmingham Railway Carriage & Wagon Class 104 set at Morecambe station. Note the white cab roof - these were painted specially by the crews at Buxton shed and added a nice touch to these workaday DMUs. We had arrived on the unit on an excursion, to visit a British Rail exhibition at the station, which included visitng LNER steam locos - A4 Pacific 4498 Sir Nigel Gresley and V2 4771 Green Arrow. Taken with my basic Kodak Brownie using 120 roll film. Chris McKee.

6th May 1979
In the 1970's a ride on one of these was something to be avoided, rattles, the smell of diesel and noise from the underfloor engines all adding to the experience. Now 30 years on, having suffered Class 142s, a ride on a Cravens DMU would be quite luxurious. On May 6th 1979, a two-car set (the DMBS furthest is believed to be M50784) at Morecambe Promenade station with a departure to Preston. The former Midland Railway station here was closed in 1994, despite its Seafront location. The 'new' Morecambe Station is now sited nearer the town centre. Martyn Hilbert.
