Leaving a nearly deserted Bescot station, British Rail Class 304032 electric multiple unit, (EMU) commences its journey towards Birmingham New Street on the 6th March 1990.
No safety barriers in these days; obvious by my photographing position off the end of the platform.
Built at British Rail's Wolverton Works, Buckinghamshire, within a stone's throw from Wolverton station, the Class 304 electric multiple units originally classified as AM4 units - 45 constructed in all - were built in 1960 for use on suburban services on the first phases of the West Coast Main Line electrification between Crewe and Manchester/Liverpool/Rugby.
Introduced into service in 1960 and refurbished in 1980, the Class 304 units were to be found operating on the West Coast Main Line, Crewe to Manchester Line, Manchester, South Junction and Altrincham Railway, Chase Line.
The Class 304 electric multiple units came to the end of their working lives in 1996 and every example of the class were scrapped.
