Warrington Central, Pressed Steel Class 117 (16.21 Warrington Central - Stockport - Chester) November 27th 1990.
From a period starting in the summer of 1988 a couple of 3-car Tyseley Class 117's were sent to Newton Heath to cover Pacer diagrams due to ongoing reliability issues.
Here set T308 51413, 59509 and 51371 waits time prior to departing with the 16.21 to Chester via Stockport.
* T308 was the last Class 117 to remain in service on BR and following withdrawal in 1996, the driving cars were eventually converted to water jetting vehicles for use with Chiltern Railways and returned to BR DMU Green livery.
They were finally withdrawn in 2015, and both cars have survived into preservation.
