September 1984
Set: B430
Class 117 DMU, set B430 (presumably 51368 59520 51410) is about to pass Stoke Edith SB Up Distant signal with a service from Hereford to Oxford, September 1984. The distant would disappear along with Stoke Edith and Shelwick Junction signal boxes when the line was singled a couple of months later in November of that year. John Crooks.
30th March 1985
Set: TS400
Despite what the destination blind says, Met-Cam class 101 DMU, set TS400 is approaching Stoke Edith Open Level Crossing from the Hereford direction on its way to Ledbury, Worcester and beyond. The redundant line is still in place at this point, although it is doubtful the sleeper chained across the top of the rail would seriously stop any wagon from ending up in the road. 30th March 1985. John Crooks.
30th March 1985
Set: TS400
With evidence of track recovery alongside, Met-Cam class 101 DMU, set TS400 approaches Stoke Edith Open Level Crossing, as it was then, on the recently singled line between Ledbury and Hereford, this units final destination. 30th March 1985. John Crooks.

30th May 1989
Set: T134
Looking a bit lost in Worcestershire countryside, class 121 single unit 55034 is seen here between Stoke Works Junction and Bromsgrove on 30 May 1989 while working a Worcester Shrub Hill to Birmingham New Street service. These were the only trains serving Bromsgrove at the time, a far cry from 2023 when there is a 4 train per hour pattern with electric units catering for the increase in passenger numbers fueled by extensive housing development. Peter Tandy.

2nd May 1993
On 2 May 1993 Pathfinder ran a mini-railtour in connection with an open day at Worcester using 20138+20066. The 2 locos were, unusually, hauling two 4-car DMUs, T404 (51853+59735+59604+53919) + T412 (51860+59591+59446+53116) which ran from Birmingham New Street to Worcester via the Lickey incline, and then on to Hereford and back via Great Malvern. The first of four shots was taken as train slowed for the junction at Stoke Prior before it turned onto the single line to Droitwich and Worcester. Peter Tandy.

There was plenty of time to run over to Stoke Edith, on the Worcester - Hereford line, to obtain the third of four shots. The sun still co-operated for this pleasantly rural view. Peter Tandy.

This was the final shot of four of the tour - no longer in full sun which infuriated some of the more vocal enthusiasts - but still quite an acceptable shot. It is the classic view at Stoke Edith which I expect is now so overgrown as to be unusable. Peter Tandy.
18th May 1994
Set: 665
Met-Camm set 665 (51429 + 54393) passes through Stoke-on-Trent with an ECS on May 18, 1994. John Carter.

Set: 101651

17th June 2006
Set: 901001
Network Rail's class 101 DMMU 901001 (977391 + 999602 + 977392) was booked to run to the south-west from Derby on 17 June 2006. It ran nearly one hour early and is seen here at Stoke Prior having just descended the Lickey Incline. It's good that it is still possible to still see a "proper" DMU, albeit in a colour scheme previously alien to the class. Peter Tandy.
