An official image (11 of 14, negative Y796/3249/10) from a internal BR photo album recording the refurbishment of Class 110 DMUs. This view shows the centre saloon of a DMBC, thought to be E51819, looking towards the van. Probably taken at its home depot of Bradford Hammerton Street circa mid-1979. British Rail.

circa June 1979
An official image (13 of 14, negative Y796/3249/12) from a internal BR photo album recording the refurbishment of Class 110 DMUs. This view shows the rear saloon in a TSL, thought to be E59811. Probably taken at its home depot of Bradford Hammerton Street circa mid-1979. While the original tungsten main saloon lighting has been replaced by fluorescents, the small 'bulls eye' tungsten lighting remains on the lowered (to hold a water tank above) ceiling outside the toilet. Compare this view with the 10th image in the album and the placement of the centre lights is different, and the formica in the bulkhead facing us is split in two on this vehicle. British Rail.

23rd June 1979
For many years there was a Summer Saturday dated Castleford to Blackpool North working that went out-and-back in a day. Once the preserve of an Eastern Region Class 40, by June 23rd 1979 when this image was recorded at Blackburn of the return working from Blackpool, the service was provided by DMU sets, on this particular day formed of ten cars. The leading car was 'Calder Valley' Class 110 Driving Motor Composite E51833. Also in the formation were a Class 104 quad and a Met-Camm triple. The Class 110s were familiar visitors to Blackpool, in the 1970's there was a daily Bradford-Blackpool North service always formed of a single three-car set, and at the time was the only regular timetabled passenger train to run over the Copy Pit route. Martyn Hilbert.
4th July 1979

20th September 1979
A Calder Valley Class 110 three-car DMU with Driving Motor Composite E52076 was arriving at Chorley with a Blackpool North - Manchester Victoria to Leeds service on September 20th 1979. Much has changed in the intervening years, to the right of the DMU in the background is the location of the steeply-graded closed route to Blackburn (with its bridge span under Stump Lane) that last saw a passenger train in 1960. To the left of this view is the disused bay platform and just beyond the terraced houses where there is now a car park and McDonalds Restaurant, and in the distance the now removed Gasometer. The original stone faced platforms at Chorley were furnished with 1960's electric lights that had replaced the original gas lamps. The platforms were rebuilt and the track re-aligned in 2016 in preparation for higher line speeds when the route is electrified. Martyn Hilbert.
28th September 1979
In its natural habitat, one of Bradford Hammerton Street Depot's BRCW Class 110 3-Car DMU's with Driving Motor Brake Composite (DMBC) E51809 at the rear, was stood in platform 14 at Manchester Victoria with a service to Bradford & Leeds on September 28th 1979. This view sums up the Manchester Victoria of old, oil soaked tracks and a mish-mash of platforms, buildings and canopies partly as a result of a visit by the German Luftwaffe on Christmas Eve 1940 when Manchester city centre was badly damaged including Victoria station. Most of the iron & glass overall roof was destroyed and never replaced. Martyn Hilbert.
28th September 1979
A once familiar sight of a well-worn first generation DMU stood at an equally well-worn Manchester Victoria on September 28th 1979. A BRCW Class 110 3-car DMU with DMCL E52081, complete with its first class saloon, was bringing up the rear of a tea-time service to Leeds via Halifax and Bradford. The former Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway Calder Valley main line was the stamping ground for these units fitted with 180hp Rolls Royce engines for coping with the gradients on the cross Pennine route. Martyn Hilbert.
6th October 1979
Class 110s at Sheffield on 6 October 1979. Platform 4b contains 52081 + 59809 + 52070 and 3b has 52085 + 59810 + 52075. Just seen on the right is a Class 114. Rob Paterson.
10th November 1979
Stabled in what can rather loosely be described as a 'shed' 'Calder Valley' BRCW Class 110 DMU Nos. E52083-E59703-E51814 inside the roofless depot at Bradford Hammerton Street on 10th November 1979. The Class 110 diesel multiple units were built by the Birmingham Railway Carriage and Wagon Company in conjunction with the Drewry Car Co. to operate services on the former Lancashire and Yorkshire main line, and spent their entire careers based around this same area. This earned them the name of the 'Calder Valley' sets. They were an updated version of the Class 104, with a revised cab design and raised bodyside window frames. Of the depot itself, the former Hammerton Street shed in Bradford closed to steam in 1958 to concentrate on DMU and diesel shunter maintenance and finally closed in 1984 when the remaining class 110 units allocated there were transferred to Neville Hill depot in Leeds. Gordon Edgar.
