A refurbished Met-Camm DMU at York with a Harrogate service on 11 July 1976. The DTCL (which appears to be E56220) has an unusual rain gutter arrangement, new sections added between the doors but the original short sections remain above the doors. The DMBS has had a continuous gutter fitted. George Woods.

The drivers compartment of a Western Region (gangwayed) GRC&W parcel car. Taken from a BUT manual. British United Traction.
Stratford-upon-Avon station seen from the Alcester Road bridge circa 1978. The train in platform 3 is a hybrid unit of one coach a class 105 and two of class 116. Note the different number of white painted door steps of the class 116 showing that these units had a greater number of doors for suburban use. The other DMU in platform 1 had just arrived and is one of the "reverse colour" class 116s. This will be going to Birmingham Moor Street after shunting into platform 2, while in the Down Goods Loop is a charter headed by a pair of class 25s. On the left of the picture is the site of the food store with the canopy of the loading bay just visible. Goods for the cold store were taken by rail to the then loop line, known locally as the Cold Store Loop, to the left of the blue DMU and then shunted into the store's own line for unloading. Peter Tandy.
After work on 1 July 1986 I kept an eye open for T702, the last all-blue class 116 DMU, to appear again at Stratford-upon-Avon. The diagrams weren't straightforward for any particular unit and involved trips over several different routes. This unit had clearly switched to the Leamington Spa line as it arrived at Stratford ready to form the 18.35 service back to that town. I had a word with the signalman on the 2nd shift and established that he was happy for me to take a lineside shot as the train left the station. The signal in the foreground is the lower quadrant controlling the exit from the Cold Store Siding by then used only for the overnight stabling of stock (and failed units awaiting rescue). TS702 is presumably formed 53867 + 59372 + 53920. Peter Tandy.
In 1986 I lived within sight of the railway line at Stratford-upon-Avon and from my kitchen window on 1 July 1986 saw the last all-blue class 116 (set L702, presumably 53867 + 59372 + 53920) arrive from Birmingham Moor Street to form the 08.00 departure back to the West Midlands. I grabbed a camera and asked the signaller, a good friend, if I might take a shot from his window as the unit crossed the Stratford-upon-Avon canal alongside a good show of elderflower on the embankment. A class 121 single unit had fortunately for me just gone towards the station with an arrival to leave a few minutes later as the 08.12 to Leamington Spa. I didn't have time to wait for this to leave as it was time to head off to work in town. Peter Tandy.
Tyseley's class 116 unit T702 (53867 and presumably 59372 + 53920) stands in platform 3 at Stratford-upon-Avon on 7 June 1986 with the 08.30 to Birmingham Moor Street and before the driver had returned to the cab after shunting the train from platform 1 and changed the lights to white. At this time several DMUs were stabled overnight in the platforms here as the station office was a crew signing-on point with its own allocation of drivers and guards. A class 121 single car unit is just visible behind T702 waiting to shunt into platform 1 and work Leamington Spa trains. In the winter the units were left with their engines idling all night, possibly because they wouldn't have started on a frosty morning, and a cloud of dense stinking diesel exhaust often hung over the station area. Peter Tandy.
A bit of smelly exhaust smoke at Bordesley Junction as two class 116 DMUs climb from the Moor Street lines towards St Andrews Junction and Birmingham New Street with an ECS from Tyseley depot which will later work on the Cross City Line between Blake Street and Redditch. This amount of smoke was commonplace with these DMUs when their engines were cold. 21 February 1987. Peter Tandy.
An everyday scene at Worcester Shrub Hill from 15 December 1984 with set B436 (presumably 51334 + 59500 + 51376, and another set attached) entering the station with a train from Birmingham New Street which will reverse here before turning left towards Foregate Street and Hereford. In 2021 the gantry of semaphore signals is still extant but a class 37 would not be seen in the former shed while waiting for its next job, along with a fellow class member, as a banker on the Lickey incline. Peter Tandy.
At Manchester Victoria on 6 December 1984 25 284 draggs a failed class 104 DMU formed of 53503 + 53448 into the station. Another class 104 unit and 2 class 120s can be seen in the suburban part of the station and another class 25 acting as station pilot is just about visible on the through lines in the darkness of the station. Peter Tandy.
Late in the afternoon of 11 April 1987 a 3-car class 116 DMU waits to leave Stratford-upon-Avon for Birmingham Moor Street. Steam locomotive 35028, with an ETHEL marshalled behind the tender, was pulling its train forward in platform 2 after being watered before leaving for London Marylebone. Peter Tandy.
Two bubbles, 55003 (leading) and 55034, at Stratford-upon-Avon on Saturday 11 April 1987. In the down goods line is 47 610, sent by Saltley to shunt a steam special hauled by 35028 Clan Line. Peter Tandy.
