April 1987
Set: TS516
At Birmingham Moor Street in April 1987 a class 116 dmu waits to leave for Stratford upon Avon. It seems to be set TS516 (the DMBS closest is presumably 53074). Stephen Burdett.
25th April 1987
Set: TS355
Set TS355 in Birmingham Moor Street on 25/4/87. Composed of 53920 + 59372 + 53867, which were recently ex-Stratford. It was the first all-over blue set noted in the Birmingham area for a while. Andy Leckenby.

Set: 083
Pressed Steel Suburban Single Car Class 121 DMU 55033 in Midline livery heads a Dorridge train while Gloucester Class 122 Single Car 55005 arrives with a Leamington train on the adjacent platform at Birmingham Moor Street on 13 May 1987. At the time single cars were being added to 3-car sets to raise the power to weight ratio. Moor St terminus closed in September 1987 when the adjacent through platforms to Birmingham Snow Hill were opened. It lay derelict until 2003 when Chiltern Railways reopened two of the original three platforms and renovated the original booking hall to supplement capacity when the Bull Ring development opened. The building under construction is the Pavillions Shopping Centre which was recently rebuilt as the largest Primark store in Europe. Chris Morrison.
29th July 1987
This is a shot from the car park at Birmingham Moor Street which I took on 29 July 1987 showing a class 116 through a 200mm lens approaching the station with a train from Leamington Spa. I don't much like the over-use of long lenses but the compressed perspective does work well in some locations with an interesting background. The line to the left is that going to Handsworth, then just a truncated branch line used by a few trip freights but in 2021 is the two-track main line between Birmingham Snow Hill and Worcester. Peter Tandy.

19th September 1987
Set: TS611
Taken on 19/9/87 at Birmingham Moor Street, a week before closure of the terminal platforms, class 116 set TS611 (53055 and presumably 59611 + 53116) waits to leave for Dorridge. The platforms reopened in 2010 and the station is now the 2nd busiest in Birmingham and arguably the best!! Stephen Burdett.

24th September 1987
Moor Street nocturne, 24/9/1987. Class 116 dmus wait to work services to Dorridge and Shirley from the terminal platforms at Birmingham Moor St which were due to close in two days. The new station can be seen to the right but ironically old Moor Street lives and the new buildings flattened! Stephen Burdett.
26th September 1987
Set: TS337
Last day at old Moor Street? Or was it? This class 116 unit (TS337, 53838 at the front presumably with 59751 + 53853) waits to depart for Leamington Spa from the old terminal platforms at Birmingham Moor Street on 26/9/1987 which was supposed to be their last day of use. The platform shown is still not in use but 23 years on the other 2 were reopened. Stephen Burdett.
26th September 1987
Confession time at Moor Street. The last day of services at the old Birmingham Moor Street on 26/9/87 sees a class 116 dmu being confronted by sobering posters. The end was not in sight however as 23 years later the terminal platforms reopened to great purpose! Stephen Burdett.
