8th October 1984
Set: BX488
This was the first class 104 I photographed in the West Midlands but that doesn't really excuse the poor job I made of composing the picture. I'm not a fan of pictures without at least some background and the only bit of identity is a small part of Leamington Spa's signalbox. The train is an Accrington to Portsmouth footex on 8 October 1984 formed of BX 488 with cars M53598, M59144 and M53542 running through the station on the up main line. I should love to see any photographs taken of this working somewhere in the Basingstoke area as it would have been quite a rarity on the LSWR. Peter Tandy.
11th October 1984
Set: TS553
Tyseley DMU set TS553 sits in the platform at Leamington Spa. The vehicles are presumably 53878 (116), 59606 (127) and 55000 (122). Nicholas notes: Leamington had a tendency to run the empty stock 3 car DMU of a Moor St set and the Stratford bubble out onto the up main toward Fenny when a xcountry was due, and then separately use a shunt disc to bring them in behind the express - providing a same platform interchange instead of the subway. This is not allowed any more - Call Ons 'are for joining' and shunts onto occupied passenger trains are somewhat discouraged - except where there's a third rail - despite stairs being easily the worst passenger hazard. In those days, the up bay wasn't signalled for Main move down departures so the bubble had to shuffle across anyway. Nicholas T Smith.
20th October 1984
Set: TS053
This was my first transparency of diesel units and was taken at Leamington Spa on 20 October 1984. The train is the 09.50 Stratford-upon-Avon to Leamington Spa formed of 55009+55012. The leading unit was repainted into the blue and grey carried by 55012 within a few weeks of the date of this photograph. Peter Tandy.
26th January 1985
Set: TS619
A Class 116 DMU with a blue centre car in Leamington Spa station on 26 January 1985. It is thought to be set TS619 formed of 53854 + 59598 + 53907. Nicholas T Smith.
11th February 1985
53693 + 59262 + 53738 wait to leave Leamington spa with a New Street service on Monday 11/2/85. Mel Holley.
April 1985
Set: TS623
No room in the bays. This was the scene one Saturday morning in April 1985 with every bay road on the down side at Leamington Spa occupied. The train on the left has a window board reading T619 but it appears to be a single unit as was the practice at the time, preparing to head off to Stratford-upon-Avon within the next few minutes. Next in line is 58 016 which was also getting ready to move out onto the main line. This was a weekly occurrence at the time and I seem to recall that the locomotive involved may have taken over a northbound freightliner with the other engine coming off the train but I didn't make any notes and can't remember exactly what happened. To the right of 58 016 is T623, probably formed of 53893 + 59603 + 53838, and then a second class 116 with no set number visible. The latter 2 units were stabled ready to work trains to Birmingham Moor Street later in the day. Peter Tandy.

Class 116 set at Leamington Spa on 20th April 1985. Ian Buck.
19th July 1985
Set: L101
A rare visitor to Leamington Spa on 19 July 1985 was single car set L101 operating a crew road learning run. This unit was W55001 by now in the Departmental fleet and numbered TDB 975023 and still carrying the overall blue livery from its previous days in passenger service in the London area. Peter Tandy.
19th July 1985
A Marylebone based class 115 passes on the down main line at Leamington Spa with am 1L04 High Wycombe to Matlock charter operated by Chiltern Trains on on 19 July 1985, long before privatisation and the official adoption of that name by the TOC. The set comprised of vehicles 51675, 59763, 59649 and 51671 and with 4 coaches was a relatively unusual sight at Leamington. The signal for the up main was on green so there had been a reasonable chance of a really messy picture with a third train in shot as the special passed a class 116 unit in platform 2 but all was well on this occasion. Peter Tandy.
1st August 1985
The Derby Lightweight Ultrasonic Test train 975008 + 975007 stopped at Leamington Spa. The driver is on the phone to the Signal box visible beyond him, officially Leamington Spa SB though the cast nameboard included North, but not picked out in white, while the diagram included Jc. The adjacent box to the South was by then, Fenny Compton. The new SSI PSB is behind the photographer then in shadow mode. P42 is a power operated derailer as there isn't room for a trap point. Nicholas T Smith.
10th August 1985
This is what the Ultrasonic Test Train looked like in 1985. It consisted of two Derby Lightweight DMU vehicles carrying the numbers 975007 + 975008 and on 10 August of that year was carrying the reporting number 6Z08 while running from Derby to Marylebone when I photographed it passing Leamington Spa station. Peter Tandy.
