101653 (54355 + 51426) sits in Platform 2 at Manchester Piccadilly on October 8th 1994. Martyn Hilbert.
A pair of matching Regional Railways liveried Class 101's, 101654 (51800 + 54408) + 101660 (54343 + 51189) were awaiting departure from platform 4 at Preston with the 12.43 Heysham to Stockport service on August 21st 1993. Martyn Hilbert.
Derby Class 108 (LO612) M51937 & M52053 - Preston Station. A close-up of Class 108 Driving Motor Brake Second (DMBS) M51937 stood in platform 2 at Preston awaiting departure with the 10.23 service to Ormskirk on August 15th 1992. The car had previously been allocated to Landore Depot at Swansea as part of set S937 (with Driving Trailer 52058) during the latter part of 1991, hence the Welsh Dragon emblem on the cab front. Following departmental use, the unit was withdrawn in 1993, but M51937 has survived into preservation and is now part of the two-car Class 108 DMU owned by the Poulton & Wyre Railway based on part of the former Fleetwood line. Martyn Hilbert.
The 12:10 from Huddersfield is seen at Clayton West on 31 August 1976 formed of a "Calder Valley" Class 110 DMU with E51834 closest. Robert Thomas.
Class 120 Swindon Cross-Country DMU set C614 (50666 and presumably 59286 + 50712) at Llanelli with the 14:58 Swansea-Shrewsbury on 7 June 1980. Robert Thomas.
The Manchester Reunion Railway Society "Hyde and Peak" railtour at United Football Ground Halt on 13 November 1982. It was formed of a Class 108 DMU, M51571 closest. Robert Thomas.
Three-car Class 101 DMU set C814 (53319 and presumably 59123 + 53335) arrives at Ferryside station with an up passenger service on 1 April 1986. Robert Thomas.
Class 108 DMU set B974 (54230 and presumably 53947) at Newport with the 09:20 Hereford-Cardiff Central service on 12 March 1988. Robert Thomas.
Class 108 DMU set S951 (presumably 53935 + 52041) at Church Stretton with the 07:42 (SO) Swansea-Shrewsbury on 7 October 1989. Robert Thomas.
Two-car Class 116 DMU set C392 (presumably 51134 + 51147) arrives at Cardiff Central with the 16:35 (SuO) from Hereford on 7 April 1991. Robert Thomas.
Pressed Steel single car W55028 is seen at Bridport with the 16:14 (SX) service to Maiden Newton on 2 July 1969. Robert Thomas.
A few miles to the south-west of Langley Green is the station at Rowley Regis. By the time this photograph was taken on 8 March 1986, freight traffic to the various industrial termini hereabouts had finished, but the trackwork and and signalling were still pretty much intact. This picture shows the inevitable class 116 DMU (TS545, presumably 50915 + 59346 + 50819) on a Birmingham New Street to Stourbridge Junction stopping train approaching the station. Peter Tandy.
Lincoln Central is the location for this photograph taken on 3 May 1985. The signals protecting the crossing have already been replaced to danger by the signalman in the High Street box in preparation for opening the gates over the busy road. Note the horseshoes nailed to the wall to retain good luck within the box. Peter Tandy.
Lincoln St Marks station on 3 May 1985, during a day out with my old friend Mike Chinnock, just a couple of weeks before it ceased operation. It shows a class 120 with an arrival from Derby and which was about to return to the same town. Also of interest is the red GPO vehicle on the platform which were a common sight at one time but have long been consigned to history, and a red Honda C50 Scooterette, very similar to my first motor vehicle! Peter Tandy.
This was for many years one of my favourite locations for northbound trains on the GWR line between Leamington Spa and Birmingham. It was somewhere around half way up Hatton Bank and was a very pleasant and quiet location for an afternoon's photography. There was plenty of freight traffic interspersed with regular DMMUs between Leamington, Stratford-upon-Avon and Birmingham along with ECS moves such as this one formed of a class 116 (TS622 with a Met-Camm centre car, presumably 53071 + 59114 + 53880) coupled to a class 108 Derby Lightweight which I took on 28 August 1986. Around 10 or 12 years after this view young trees were planted along the fenceline and have now completely obscured the line so much so that one can walk along the permissive footpath and not know that there is railway line alongside. Peter Tandy.
Here is one of my few shots on the Stourbridge town branch, taken on 5 March 1986. It shows 55004 arriving at Stourbridge Junction after a journey of just a couple of minutes from the town station. Another single car unit is just visible behind the signalbox, indicating that the daily changeover was imminent. The size of the signalbox is testament to the area's importance in earlier days, with considerable numbers of freights heading for Brierley Hill and Dudley sites, or to the Handsworth line via Langley Green. Even at this relatively late date a class 25, 25 205 is in position ready to bank freights along the now-closed line to Bescot via Wednesbury. Peter Tandy.
This 4 coach NSE Class 115 DMMU is coming from Amersham to Marylebone and is approaching Neasden South Junction on 8 March 1991. The long lineside building to the left of the down line is the sidings then used by Christian Salvesen for various type of rail-borne food traffic. I don't think this was especially regular traffic at this time and the line entering the site had a good coating of rust to confirm this. Peter Tandy.
In platform 3 at Stratford-upon-Avon sometime in 1987 a 3 car Class 108 numbered T902 (presumably 53933 + 59387 + 51566) is on the front of the Midline Bubble which is conveniently positioned on the platform's curve so that its unique colour scheme is visible. Peter Tandy.
Three twin sets (TS201, presumably 51910 + 54361) are seen in platform 3 at Stratford after a proving run from Birmingham on 16 August 1986. They were about to return as ECS to Tyseley before entering normal service. Peter Tandy.
While I was eating my breakfast on the morning of 18 May 1986, I saw a plain blue parcel unit, 55995, head towards Stratford-upon-Avon station. "What on earth...?". I thought and grabbed a couple of cameras and dashed down to investigate. A class 116 had failed in the cold store siding and Tyseley sent 55995 down to effect the rescue. I was sort of disappointed at the time that a locomotive hadn't come, but in retrospect this unit was much more interesting. The parcel unit has been attached to the errant unit and as the crew are about to top up the 116's cooling system, I assume this was the cause of the failure. Sadly, I didn't have time to photograph the departure as I hadn't finished my breakfast or dressed in an entirely suitable fashion for a day at work! Peter Tandy.
