17th February 1981
The morning of 17th February 1981 revealed heavy snow had fallen. In this picture at Kings Norton a Tyseley class 116 DMU is struggling towards Longbridge, wrong line, I am guessing the direction of travel by the tail light!. The Camp Hill lines (left) remain buried under snow and clearly have yet to see a train. Image taken by Peter Shoesmith. Geoff Dowling and John Whitehouse Collection.
22nd February 1981
Winter at Gravelly Hill. A first generation Class 116 dmu creeps into Gravelly Hill station, Birmingham, with a Four Oaks - Longbridge service on Sunday 22nd February 1981. For one academic year I travelled frequently by train between here and New Street station. My freezing cold, lonely student digs were just around the corner in Gravelly Hill North. Today, the "cross-city" line is electrified, and trains run between Lichfield and Longbridge, or between Four Oaks and Redditch. It wasn't until I'd viewed the scan large that I noticed the figures up there behind the bridge parapet. Brrrr! Tom Harper.
25th February 1981
Suburban snow scene. The shutter speed I'd selected wasn't quite fast enough to stop this first generation dmu as it burst out from under the bridge here at Kings Norton station. The unit was working the 14:02 Lichfield - Longbridge cross city line service on Wednesday 25th February 1981. Meanwhile, a West Midlands PTE Leyland National bus crosses the bridge. Tom Harper.

A Class 116 DMU at Derby on Thursday 12 March 1981. David Russon.
25th May 1981
Leicester Midland, 25th May 1981. Another grey rainy day in the city. A Class 116 diesel multiple unit enters Leicester Midland from the north past Leicester North signal box and a forest of semaphore signals. This could be my train, the 08.00 train to Nuneaton. In 1981 The Leicester Gap was in full swing and multiple aspect colour light signals wouldn't replace the mechanical signals until 1986-7. In the right distance is Leicester depot with what look like mainly Class 25 diesels on shed. Pete LG99.

23rd July 1981
Three first-generation diesel multiple units (116s and a 101) stand in the platforms at Birmingham Moor Street on July 23, 1981 , at the time a terminus. The destination blind on the right-hand unit reads "LEICESTER" which is a bit of a conundrum. A fine Rail Alphabet running-in board and two platform signs grace the platform. Jeremy Chapter.

10th December 1981
One of Tyseley's class 116 dmu's wanders along towards University station with the 12.50 Four Oaks - Longbridge service on 10 December 1981. The photograph is at the University of Birmingham and the canal is in the deep sandstone cutting that was hewn out with just picks and shovels when this canal was built. When the water is low it is possible to stand in the canal on little islands of sandstone next to the towpath. Geoff Dowling.
12th December 1981
"This was taken on Saturday December 12 1981 after the record coldest night when the temperature was around minus 22 degrees. I spent most of the morning at this spot in the 'dip' between Warwick and Leamington Spa, and this was the only train I saw! It is going towards Leamington Spa - I was too cold to get the unit number (it was minus 20 when I took the pic)." Mel Holley.
