An unusual visitor to the Birmingham to Gloucester line on 16 June 1987 in the form of a 3-car Buxton class 108/104/108 unit and a 2-car Class 101. The leading unit was BX489, presumably 53932 + 59207 + 51569. The train was a Blackpool to Evesham private charter which was run by Lancashire Rail Ramblers with connecting buses to the Cotswolds. I must have had prior knowledge of this train from the weekly STN and was probably disappointed when either a class 45 of 47 failed to appear. Given the number of both locomotive classes available to photograph on this line in 1987 I am now far happier to have had this shot than a locomotive and stock. The little girl watching the train is now in her late 30s! My thanks to Paul Stewart and members of the BLS for information on the reason for the train's visit to Evesham.
