This is probably an LMR publicity image. The caption on the rear states "Three of the fitters up in the 'pit' ready to give a set the routine once over. L/R Kevin Bisset (Fitter), M.R. Mirza (Asst Fitter), Bob Anderson (Electrician)." I'm guessing this is Tyseley, and the date is circa October 1988 as the date on the set board in the Class 117 window is 11.01.88. British Railways.

For something over two years 1984-1986, Crossflatts was my station. A recent and economical new station from WYPTE and Eastern Region. I was working for WY Metropolitan County Council as a young curator against the background of miner's strike and Maggie Thatcher. I commuted a lot by train with my kerching a saverstrip. It was probably the first time in life a train was a near daily necessity. Two interesting classes of DMU regularly frequented the line. The Class 110 Calder Valley high powered sets and the Class 123/124 lash ups which were ending their days on the Morecambe services. Here a class 110 is heading west to Morecambe 24th March 1986.

Croy wood veneer 104457. During four years living in Ayrshire 1986-90, photography of first generation DMUs was a must. Two were right at the top and both were BRCW Class 104 sets. One was the Mexican Bean and the other was 104457 which I called the wood veneer set, took photos to prove it. In this instance on 1st October 1987. This is at Croy. I was travelling Stirling Glasgow and had just been decanted from a failed 101. Closest is 53504, the other two vehicles are presumably 59228 + 53556. Robert Forsythe.
