Dist:0.4km<br/>A class 108 multiple unit leaves Mobberley station on a Manchester to Chester working (this was while the service still took the direct route via Sale). Details of this type of multiple unit are at http://www.railcar.co.uk/his100-109/108intro.htm ; this particular unit is now preserved on the Keith & Dufftown railway in Scotland and may be the same one pictured in [[122792]].
