Two Class 120 Swindon Cross-Country DMUs approaching Church Stretton from the Shrewsbury direction circa 1974. Leading is set C520 - W50723 and presumably W59278 (with red stripe for the buffet) and W50674. John Clark / Adrian Sutterby Collection.
This bridge just to the south of Bromsgrove station was a popular spot for photography until the overhead wires went up to allow the lines to Bromsgrove station and Redditch to be electrified. The train is Tyseley's class 117 unit T309 (51372 + 59490 + 51414) approaching the station on 7 July 1988 with a Worcester to Birmingham New Street service. Peter Tandy.
The final of three images at Settle Junction on 27 July 1988 of class 111 (78969 + 78919). My second camera loaded with black & white film was ready with a 135mm lens on it at the time and this was ideal for the third shot of the on a service for Morecambe. Peter Tandy.
The second of three images at Settle Junction on 27 July 1988, this being in the opposite direction from the first, the Class 111 (78969 + 78919) is on its way to Morecambe. The change in gradient on the Settle to Carlisle main line is very evident and marks the start of The Long Drag north to the summit of the line at Ais Gill. Peter Tandy.
The first of a set of three pictures of the same Class 111 (78719 + 78969) at Settle Junction taken on 27 July 1988. The train was a Leeds to Morecambe service just after leaving the Settle to Carlisle line and on the "Little North-Western". I have few pictures in this area and made only a few trips around this time with a work colleague with the main aim of photographing steam specials but I'm glad in retrospect that I took advantage of the opportunities to shoot some frames of service trains; to my eyes these are now more interesting. Peter Tandy.
I went to the S & C on 24 August 1988 to photograph steam locomotive 34092 City of Wells,and had the chance to have some shots of service trains. This one shows a pair of DMUs - Class 101 (probably 51215 + 53162) on the left and a Class 108 - crossing Long Marton Viaduct. Peter Tandy.
A Class 101 (DMBS E51215 carrying an old set number and presumably DMCL E53162) with a Class 108 at Armathwaite on 24 August 1988. Note the neat platelayers hut on the right of the track which appeared to be still in use at the time. Peter Tandy.
This image dated 18 April 1987 shows an unidentified hybrid unit (a Class 115 DMBS closest) about to the enter Droitwich Spa station with a Hereford to Birmingham New Street via Stourbridge Junction service. The board in the cab windows shows that this is an express with limited calls which missed out the intermediate stations such as Langley Green and Smethwick West. Peter Tandy.
Class 122 55009 was leading class 121 55032 on the morning of 18 April 1987 when I photographed them at Hatton as they left the main line at the Station Junction while on the way to Stratford-upon-Avon. Originally a West Country vehicle, 55032 was transferred to Cardiff Canton in October 1982 where it acquired the Red Dragon which it retained after going to Laira in September 1985 and then to Tyseley in May 1986. Peter Tandy.
Class 122 single unit 55009 was working a Leamington Spa to Stratford-upon-Avon service when I photographed it on the misty lunchtime of 24 April 1987. The picture was taken from the new bridge being built over the line near Bishopton as a new stretch of the A46 road was under construction. Behind the camera on the other side of the road is Stratford Parkway station and unusually the shot is still possible in 2023. Peter Tandy.
Single unit 55009 was working on the Stratford-upon-Avon to Leamington Spa shuttles on 1 May 1987. This location on the canal towpath just outside Stratford Station was just the job for a bubble as the unit fitted nicely between all the poles and posts without anything appearing to grow out of its roof. This spot isn't a lot of use in 2023 as the undergrowth has flourished. Peter Tandy.
