8th August 1964
Vehicle: 50119 Set: 327
A Derby suburban triple set 327 seen near Bearley on 8 August 1964, led by M50119. Many (but not all) of the Tyseley set numbers in this period matched the last two digits of the centre car, in this case 59027. By the end of the sixties a 5xx number series was used, often just switching the 3 to a 5, this set becoming TY527. Michael Mensing.
24th January 1991
As late as 1991, essential supplies of water and coal were delivered from Stratford-upon-Avon to the signal box at Bearley Junction by means of a Leamington Spa bound train. Although an electrical supply was used for the signalling system, lighting and the cooking facilities were still powered by gas using pressurised containers. On the misty and cold morning of 24 January 1991 I travelled on the 08.12 from Stratford with the express purpose of obtaining a photograph of the process in action and here is a water container being handed to John Overfield, the signalman, by the guard of the class 114 DMU. Peter Tandy.

11th March 1989
Vehicle: 53886 Set: T401
A four-car Tyseley DMU, set 401, passing the signalbox at Bearley Junction on 11 March 1989. This unit is a right hotch-potch with a class 116 DMS 53886, class 115 TS 59743, class 127 TSL 59610 and Class 115 DMBS 51662. This mixture of types was far from unusual at Tyseley around this time with the depot using whatever they had available to keep trains running at a time of dreadful reliability. Peter Tandy.
