Class 117 DMU at Stratford-upon-Avon

15th May 1987

Stratford-upon-Avon didn't see many vehicles in Network South-East colours. So when I saw from my then kitchen window class 117 L406 (51341 + 59493 + 51383) going towards the station on 15 May 1987 it seemed like a good idea to walk down to the Stratford East signalbox and ask Mick the bobby if I might take a shot from his window as it left a few minutes later. He was always happy for some company so called me up and put the kettle on. I did also take a colour slide but it was so unsharp that no amount of work after scanning made it acceptable. The train was the 17.50 to Birmingham Snow Hill photographed as it passed over the Stratford-upon-Avon canal with a background that has changed beyond recognition with the WW2 cold store having been demolished and the entire site covered with a Morrisons supermarket. Peter Tandy.
