Birmingham Moor Street station on 20 October 1986. The Class 101 dmu on the left is formed of a four-car Class 101 unit 53336/59529/59120/53303 and I recorded it as the 15.10 to Stratford-upon-Avon, despite the destination board showing "Shirley". The Class 116 unit on the right is formed of 51130/59615/51143 (set TS624) and will be working the 14.55 to Leamington Spa. Lewis Bevan.
