23rd March 1968

Set: 400

Tyseley Met-Camm set 400 (M50303 and presumably M59114 + M50321) at Henley-in-Arden with the SLS 'Farewell to the Honeybourne Cheltenham Line' tour on March 23, 1968. Note the location of the BR logo, and the smaller 3" vehicle numbers. Stuart Mackay Collection.

31st January 1981

29th August 1986

Set: TS609

An interesting train on the North Warwickshire line to Birmingham in 1986 was the daily train booked to start at 08.13 from Henley-in-Arden which had arrived earlier and was routed into the bay platform; the only service so to do. This gave the rare opportunity to photograph a unit in the otherwise unused platform 3 and to take a picture with the signal in the clear position. I should like to have had a picture of the DMU nearer the signal but wanted to catch it for the onward journey. The train, formed of the usual class 116 3 car set on this occasions TS609 (presumably 53894 + 59603 (a 127) + 53853), is seen here on 29 August 1986 with the guard returning to his van in order to give the right of way to the driver.

May 1987

Set: B430

Class 117 DMU B430 (51368 + 59520 + 51410) calls at Henley-in-Arden with a Birmingham Moor St - Stratford-upon-Avon service in May 1987. The DMU was painted in Chocolate and Cream livery in 1985 for the 150th anniversary of the Great Western Railway. Chris Morrison.

2nd May 1994

This Bank Holiday 2 May 1994 image shows a real hotch-potch six car DMMU about to make the Henley-in-Arden stop. The leading coach was from class 116 set T356 with a 2 coach class 116, a 2 coach NSE set with a single driving coach from another class 116 on the back. This Bank Holiday Monday saw first generation DMUs replacing the usual class 150 sprinters presumably to cater for the influx of visitors to Stratford from the West Midlands conurbation. The police were always out in force on these holidays to keep an eye on any would-be tourists who had drunk more than was good for them (and for anyone else within earshot) on the inward journey. These characters were usually unceremoniously dumped in a van and taken away to Stratford police station to sober up before being put back on a later train without being allowed into the town. Peter Tandy.
