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.
