Taken at Birmingham Snow Hill in Autumn 1969, the days when at least a shuttle service ran to Wolverhampton Low Level. This single car dmu (55008) sitting in bay platfom 4 looks a bit lost in the grandeur of the setting but was sufficient for the expected custom. The disused Great Charles Street exit is ringed by the delicate Edwardian wrought iron fencing & gate between bay platform 4 & the Down Main platform 5. The tracks are still in the platform lines but the through lines have been severed at this point. Pete LG99.
A GRC&W bubble car at Langley Green circa early 1970s. Carrying set number TY053 it is presumably M55008 which would be transferred to the Eastern Region in May 1972. Graham Clark.

An oval-buffered GRC&W single-car DMU entering Swan Village station circa 1971. Displaying set number TY054, it is presumably M55009. Graham Clark.
Tyseley set TY054, a GRC&W 'double-ender' which based on the set number is presumably M55009, after arrival at Swan Village station circa 1971. Graham Clark.

With one oval and one 'cut' buffer, a GRC&W single car DMU is seen in the original Redditch station circa 1971. It is presumably M55009 based on the set number TY054. Graham Clark.
Two GRC&W bubble cars in Birmingham Snow Hill circa 1971. On the left is set TY054 - presumably M55009 - with Stratford-Upon-Avon on the destination blind, on the right is set TY056 - presumably M55012 - with Oldbury And Langley Green on the destination blind. Graham Clark.

Class 122 M55009 New Street 25 July 1972. This is most unusual as it has a correct destination blind but is working on it’s own and not strengthening another set. There can’t have been a diagram for a single unit to work a timetabled train into New Street surely and I’ve never seen this happen before. Possibly a working to Moor Street from Stratford that was diverted for some reason. The line from Wolverhampton Low Level to Snow Hill closed in March 1972 so it can't have been a diversion from that either. I don’t think it’s an ECS from Tyseley as there seems to be a member of the public leaning out behind the guard. Alistair Ness.
Class 122 'Bubble Car' M55009 seen with a busy drivers compartment and Birmingham New Street on the destination blind at Barnt Green on 29 July 1972. A Tyseley vehicle since new, it's first allocation change would be several weeks later when it moved to Bletchley. Stuart Mackay Collection.
I think my father was photographing these services in conjunction with the closure of Birmingham Snow Hill. In this one a Tyseley single car DMU TY055 (presumably 55010) is seen in Snow Hill waiting to leave on the 16.58 to Langley Green. The KDH Archive.
