Unknown Date
Set: TS514
This is a shot of the usual 3 coach class 116 forming a Birmingham New Street to Kidderminster service approaching Stourbridge Junction on 8 March 1986. The set number is TS514 presumably formed 53870 + 59629 + 53923. Also of interest is 25 205 in the sidings which would have been on standby duties should a northbound freight have needed banking assistance on the now-closed line through Dudley towards Bescot. There must have been such a train expected on this Saturday morning because there certainly wasn't a locomotive stabled here every week, at least on the weekends that I visited. Peter Tandy.

Set: TS053
In the British Rail era the short Stourbridge Junction to Stourbridge Town branch was worked for many years by single car class 122 DMUs. Here Tyseley based set TS053 (car no.55009) is seen exchanging passengers before forming train 2H66 the 15.59 to Stourbridge Town on 11/08/84. Unlike today where each trip is allocated a unique train number back in 1984 every train on the branch ran as 2H66. Adrian Nicholls.

1st March 1986
Set: C805
The view looking towards Kidderminster at Stourbridge Junction station on a dull day in March isn't one of the finest in the West Midlands. On 1 March 1986 the unusual sight of Cardiff's class 101 C805 (presumably 51530 and 51462) coupled to a class 105 made taking this shot worthwhile. The train was a Kidderminster to Birmingham New Street service long before these went to the rebuilt Snow Hill station. Peter Tandy.
5th March 1986
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.
8th March 1986
Set: TS506
This class 116 at Stourbridge Junction is TS506 (presumably 53840 + 59612 + 53100), making the journey from Birmingham New Street to Kidderminster on 8 March 1986. Despite the frequency of passenger trains on this route and the relatively large number of trains from the Bescot to Stourbridge freight line, the Down Goods Loop wouldn't have seen a huge amount of use. This was because anything from the fright line needing to have been held would simply have waited at Stourbridge North Junction. Freights from the Old Hill line, although fewer in number, may well have been turned inside here although the coating of rust on the rails suggests that this wasn't a daily occurrence. I also think than ECS workings, especially when the single coach set used on the Stourbridge Town shuttles was swapped for fuelling and maintenance at Tyseley, would have been routed along the loop to await a path across the main lines to the sidings. Peter Tandy.

Set: TS082
Before the advent of the Parry People Mover single car Tyseley DMMUs were used on the shuttles between Stourbridge Town and Junction stations. Here is 55032 approaching the Junction station in about late 1986, the unit had recently arrived from South Wales as shown by the Red Dragon logo on the cab front. Peter Tandy.
