18th February 1985
A Class 104 DMU set at Southport on 18/02/85. Before the route became "modernised" with class 142 Pacer railcars services on the Manchester to Southport line were invariably in the hands of 2 and 3-car class 104 DMU sets based at Newton Heath. Here a 2-car set sits filling the station with fumes prior to departure with train 2J18 the 14.10 to Manchester Victoria. Adrian Nicholls.
28th September 1985
As part of a joint BR/Steamport open day on September 28th 1985, a shuttle service from Southport station to the Steamport Museum at the former loco depot in Derby Road, was provided using a 2-Car Class 104 formed of cars M54175 & M53469. This was the view from Windsor Road footbridge, as having run from Southport station, and following a reversal in the headshunt alongside the former St Lukes station visible in the background, the 104 was running onto the access siding into Steamport. Martyn Hilbert.

During a joint BR/Steamport exhibition/open day on September 28th 1985, a DMU shuttle service ran between Southport station and the Steamport Museum using a BRCW Class 104 2-Car DMU formed of cars M53469 & M54175. The unit had just passed under Windsor Road footbridge and was entering the Steamport siding en-route to the Museum. Martyn Hilbert.
28th September 1985
With the restored Class 503 EMU in the adjacent platform, a 2-Car Class 108 DMU with M53929 leading, awaits departure from Southport with a service to Manchester Victoria on September 28th 1985. That chap seems to be looking at something of interest inside the door vestibule of that 108. This was the period when the first generation DMU fleet was on the way out, and time-honoured scenes such as this became a thing of the past as shiny new Class 142s and 150s came on stream. Martyn Hilbert.

Southport station on 21 May 1988. A pair of 2-car Class 108 dmus departs towards Wigan Wallgate and Manchester. I had been working in Southport this week, and decided to take a few photos before catching my train home. First I walked to"Steamport", the railway museum housed in the old steam depot. The route to Steamport involved crossing a long footbridge, where this photo was taken from. Lewis Bevan.

10th July 1988
A Derby built Class 108 2-car DMU is stabled between duties in Southport carriage sidings on the 10th July 1988. M54253 was a Driving Trailer Composite when built, but had now been downgraded to all second class. Most of the railway infrastructure behind the DMU has now been swept away and replaced by a retail park. Visible are the toilet blocks and the faded maroon & cream staff cabin on the disused excursion platforms, the coal depot, the loco shed, and the stable blocks for the former goods yard. Viva & Marina British Rail vans are parked in the yard. Martyn Hilbert.

29th August 1988
Set: CH255
On Bank Holiday Monday August 29th 1988, a six-car rake of Class 108 DMUs had arrived at Southport with an additional service from Manchester. The leading car was Driving Motor Brake Second (DMBS) M51424 part of Chester set CH255. The car had been built to Lot.No.30498 at Derby and had been new in March 1960. In 1988, M51424 was partnered with Driving Trailer M54232, the set being transferred to Manchester Longsight Depot in 1990, where it worked it's last period of operation until withdrawn from service in 1992. Both cars were subsequently scrapped by Booth's of Rotherham. Martyn Hilbert.
29th August 1988
With its first class saloon downgraded to second, Class 108 Driving Trailer Second Lavatory (DTSL) and Motor Brake Second 53606, were stood in the carriage sidings at Southport on August 29th 1988. 54196 had an unusually small BR emblem that looked as though it was part of a West Yorkshire PTE logo without the 'Metro Train' branding. Martyn Hilbert.
