Class 117 DMU at Sutton Coldfield

×

Details

Sutton Coldfield on the West Midlands Cross-City Line wasn't the place I expected to see a Reading allocated class 117 on a misty day sometime in the summer of 1987. It was operating as a 4 car set with 51345 leading. The set must have worked north at some point and pinched by Tyseley, always a bit short of fully functional trains, and put on this major suburban route. The impressive building in the background is the New Hall Hotel which to me is reminiscent of one of the grander Scottish establishments.
