50942
1st March 1986
A Class 108 two-car DMU formed of cars M53942 + M54225 about to pass over the B5259 Lytham to Wrea Green Road, arriving at Moss Side with a Kirkham to Blackpool South service on March 1st 1986. Martyn Hilbert.
1st March 1986
The tail-end of Class 108 DMBS M53942 clears the B5259 Lytham Road as it was departing from the rural station at Moss Side with a Blackpool South to Kirkham service on March 1st 1986. Located on the single track coast line, the original station here closed in 1961 (when the route was still double track), and the station was reopened in November 1983. Although in a rural location with some houses along the B5259, there was a caravan park alongside the station and the now-closed Moss Side Isolation Hospital was within walking distance. First in the line of vehicles waiting at the crossing is a 1978 Rover SD1 (NBV 574T), no doubt now long-departed this world. Martyn Hilbert.
1989
Set: S947
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.

M50943 on Patricroft shed reputedly with rear end damage, side by side with Standard 5 73140, circa April 1966. Ian McDonald Collection.

Set: T211
Class 108 DMU set T211 (53943 + 54277) at Wirksworth on Saturday 23 May 1987. A large crowd of locals can be seen to the left of the set. Stuart Mackay Collection.
5th January 1991
Set: N607
A three-car Class 108 formed of three brake vehicles including a centre trailer coach (TBSL), was awaiting departure from Skipton with a service to Bradford Forster Square on January 5th 1991. The leading car was M53943 and the rear driving car was M53971. It would appear this was a cobbled together set of serviceable cars in the period when the troublesome Class 142 fleet was giving the first generation DMU fleet an extended period of operation. M53943 was carrying the set number N607 on the cab front, whilst at the rear, M53971 was displaying set number T203. Martyn Hilbert.
50944
18th February 1978
M50944 leads a two-car Class 108 out of Manchester Piccadilly station on 18 February 1978. Alistair Ness.
30th August 1979
A Class 108 two-car DMU with DMBS M50944 leading, accelerates away from Midge Hall with an Ormskirk to Preston service on August 30th 1979. The brick structure visible to the right of the DMU is the gable-end of the former Goods Shed at the long-closed Midge Hall station. The station closed in 1960 and there have been long-running campaigns to have the station re-opened as the Western fringe of a developed Leyland has almost reached this location. In 1979 the former Up Line along here was still in use, single track commencing just South of the level crossing seen in the far-distance, where a VW Camper is passing over the line. Martyn Hilbert.
20th November 1983
A Class 108 two-car DMU with Driving Motor Brake Second M53944 at the rear, was stood at Bamber Bridge with a Preston to Colne service on November 20th 1983. In the distance is the bridge constructed in red brick, that takes the M6 Motorway across the East Lancashire route. The structure was the first Motorway over Railway bridge in the UK, this section of the M6 (The 8 mile Preston By-Pass) between Bamber Bridge and Broughton, opened in December 1958. Unfortunately the original brick bridge was encased by new structures on both sides when this section of the M6 was widened in the 1990's. Martyn Hilbert.
5th June 1988
On the 5th June 1988 Newton Heath allocated Class 108 DMBS M53944 is seen during an overhaul at BREL Doncaster Works Carriage & Wagon Section. Later converted to departmental Sandite vehicle ADB977766 she was eventually scrapped during April 1994 by C F Booth, Rotherham. Bob Woolnough.
6th August 1988
Class 108 Driving Motor Brake Second M53944 was leading a seven-car DMU formation arriving at Lostock Hall with the Sunday Blackpool North to Carlisle 'Dalesrail' service on August 6th 1988. The service was made up of a two-car Class 108 (both DMBSs), a two-car Class 104 & a three-car Class 101. Martyn Hilbert.
