As the driver opens up a cloud of thick exhaust smoke blots out the background. The leading set comprises 50062, 59028 & 50117 The train will be on the way to New Street to work a Birmingham to Kidderminster service, it has just left Tyseley Carriage sidings. The houses on the left were on Byron Road they were sturdy Victorian tunnel back houses but they fell victim to Small Heath Highway which was built to relieve traffic through Small Heath on the Coventry Road (it didn't) The houses on the right are off Armoury Road, they were owned by BSA Motorcycles and the houses could be rented by employees, sadly by this time BSA had closed and the houses would soon follow the factory into oblivion, it is now an industrial estate. The station platform may not have anywhere to sit or shelter but it certainly was well lit, the wonky gradient post remains! Image by Peter Shoesmith 21 August 1976.
