In Birmingham New Street on June 16 1962 is a Park Royal and GRC&W set which have arrived on the 3:50pm ex-Rugeley (TV) and will now work the 5.10pm return. Note the 21F shed code on the buffer beam, this was Rycroft depot which had sixteen of the twenty Park Royal sets allocated to it on this date, the other four (50411-4) were at Watford. The DMBS has no whiskers, but the cover for the route indicator is from a vehicle that had whiskers. Michael Mensing.

There are four signals here as the Great Northern Railway opened a connecting line from Hatfield in 1865 which meant that there were two possible routes out of the station. The GNR line closed to passengers in 1951 and to freight in 1968. John Cosford.

Unknown Date
Two Class 103 Park Royal DMUs at Chester, date unknown. Chester General in its heyday and looking like a proper station. With the goods shed and the footbridge in the background 2 class 103 units are stabled awaiting their next service to Birkenhead Woodside. These units spent a lot of their working life in the Chester area working to Birkenhead, Manchester and into north Wales. Edgehillsignallman@Flickr.
circa 1963
Calling at Adderley Park circa 1963 is a 7 car dmu set, leading is a Park Royal coupled to a Gloucester RCW twin and finally a Metro-Cammell triple. Adderley Park station was opened in 1860, it's layout is a booking office at street level on Bordesley Green Road and buildings at platform level. The platform on the Birmingham bound side is backed by the approach to Adderley Park goods yard, a once busy and thriving yard handling considerable freight from this area of heavy industry. Factories included Morris Commercial and Arthur Holdens Paint, the finely detailed frontage of which still survives. The goods yard was home to many coal merchants whose carts could be seen clattering up the granite sett paved road from the the yard to Bordesley Green Road. The tiled building in front of the camera is a simple waiting room and is still extant although the tall chimney has been removed, the lighting is now electric and much more comprehensive.

A Park Royal DMU set (which looks freshly painted) - coupled cab to cab and steam hauled. Seen at Leicester in 1963. Stuart Mackay Collection.
13th May 1963
This is Aldridge Station on 13/05/1963, into which a Park Royal DMU is about to call. Aldridge was the first station east of Walsall on the Sutton Park line to Castle Bromwich, it closed to passengers in January 1965, the line is still open as a freight route and there are persistant rumours that a passenger service may one day return. It will be too late for Aldridge as no trace of it now remains. The rather dramatic shot was taken by Peter Shoesmith. Geoff Dowling and John Whitehouse Collection.
August 1963
M50408 leads this Park Royal set south of Walsall on a Dudley - Walsall service in August 1963. Michael Mensing.
