April 1985
No room in the bays. This was the scene one Saturday morning in April 1985 with every bay road on the down side at Leamington Spa occupied. The train on the left has a window board reading T619 but it appears to be a single unit as was the practice at the time, preparing to head off to Stratford-upon-Avon within the next few minutes. Next in line is 58 016 which was also getting ready to move out onto the main line. This was a weekly occurrence at the time and I seem to recall that the locomotive involved may have taken over a northbound freightliner with the other engine coming off the train but I didn't make any notes and can't remember exactly what happened. To the right of 58 016 is T623, probably formed of 53893 + 59603 + 53838, and then a second class 116 with no set number visible. The latter 2 units were stabled ready to work trains to Birmingham Moor Street later in the day. Peter Tandy.
