Suburban DMUs in Four Oaks station sometime in 1984. On the very left is Class 127 TS 59622. Stuart Mackay Collection.
Class 127 TS M59622 at Snailwell on 21 February 1992. Nicholas Youngman.
On 29 January 1987 T524 (presumably 53068 + 59622 (a 127) + 53112) was in Birmingham Moor Street station having arrived from Stratford-upon-Avon and was being prepared to return to the same town. I don't know what the two vehicles to the left of the DMU were doing in the siding but assume that they had been left there after some sort of engineering work over the previous weekend. Freight traffic to the yard here had ceased from 1972; before I started railway photography or even owned a camera other than a plastic Kodak Brownie 127. Peter Tandy.
Until 1987, the GWR's Moor Street station was the terminus for trains both from the Leamington Spa and Stratford-upon-Avon lines. When Snow Hill was reopened a two platform through station was constructed adjacent to the terminus, which then became redundant and was closed. On 7 February 1987 the 12.10 to Stratford departs from Moor Street in the capable hands of driver Geoff Davies, the set being TS524, presumably 53068 + 59622 (a 127) + 53112. Moor Street lay derelict for many years, but now has been restored and is now used again by trains to relieve pressure on Snow Hill and to provide shoppers with a more direct route to their destinations. The car park is now part of the new Moor Street station with its own terminus platforms used by many of Chiltern Railways' Marylebone services including those using class 68 power in push-pull mode. Peter Tandy.
Emerging from the gloom of Birmingham New Street station on 23/Apr/1987 is Class 115 DMBS no. 51884 at the head of non-gangwayed three-car set TS524 formed with 59622 (cl.127) and 53112 (cl.116). This was a nine-car consist, the other sets recorded as being TS400 formed 51862-59602-53124 (classes 115-127-116) and TS354 formed 53890-59054-53910 (two class 116 DMSs with a class 101 trailer brake). Unusually at this late date and for a unit in Blue/Grey livery, two white marker dots are displayed in the former headcode panel of the leading 115 and as I recall, they were actually stuck on the outside purely for effect. It looked really good compared with the usual plain painted treatment. 51884 had a more varied allocation history than many 115s, being new to Chaddesden thence to Trafford Pk, Allerton, Toton, Allerton again, Marylebone, back to Allerton before a return to Marylebone and a final transfer to Tyseley in 1986. It received gangways for the first time only in September 87. Robert Chilton.
