This image was taken at Bescot on 25 February 1987 and shows a 2 coach class 108 comprising vehicles 53931 + 51562. I was told on the day that the unit was being used as a route learning special covering various lines in this part of the world. DMUs were not especially common here at the time as all local trains to Walsall were in the hands of EMUs so I'm glad that I used a frame of colour transparency film on it. Peter Tandy.

An unusual visitor to the Birmingham to Gloucester line on 16 June 1987 in the form of a 3-car Buxton class 108/104/108 unit and a 2-car Class 101. The leading unit was BX489, presumably 53932 + 59207 + 51569. The train was a Blackpool to Evesham private charter which was run by Lancashire Rail Ramblers with connecting buses to the Cotswolds. I must have had prior knowledge of this train from the weekly STN and was probably disappointed when either a class 45 of 47 failed to appear. Given the number of both locomotive classes available to photograph on this line in 1987 I am now far happier to have had this shot than a locomotive and stock. The little girl watching the train is now in her late 30s! My thanks to Paul Stewart and members of the BLS for information on the reason for the train's visit to Evesham. Peter Tandy.
