Class 117 B427 (51407, 59517 + 51365) were pictured at Droitwich Spa with a Hereford to Birmingham New Street train on 6 July 1985.

27th April 1991
Vehicle: 55032 Set: 012
In 1991 only a few trains between Birmingham and Worcester ran via and stopped at Bromsgrove which then had just one platform on the up side meaning that a line-blocking move was required. The trains were mostly operated with a single unit DMU such was the low demand for seats. On 27 April of that year 55032 was on duty and I photographed it approaching Droitwich Spa after travelling along the largely single track from Stoke Works Junction. There are 9 semaphore signals in view along with the remains of the rail-served coal depot which was in the process of closure and removal by this date. Peter Tandy.

At Droitwich Spa a 2 coach class 114 DMU formed of 54027 + 53019 works a Birmingham via Kidderminster service on 27 April 1991. When I took this photograph the garden on the station was well-tended and looked after by the staff but in 2020 the undergrowth and trees along the platform had taken over. Peter Tandy.

18th April 1987
This image dated 18 April 1987 shows an unidentified hybrid unit (a Class 115 DMBS closest) about to the enter Droitwich Spa station with a Hereford to Birmingham New Street via Stourbridge Junction service.
