The magnificent buildings in the background are the Langley Green maltings know as Showall's Maltings after the brewer Walter Showall who brewed beer nearby for distribution across the West Midlands.

1st March 1986
Set: T524
In 1986 the line from Smethwick West to Rowley Regis was still controlled by semaphore signals. This picture taken at Langley Green on 1 March 1986 shows Tyseley class 116 T524 passing the platform-based signal box and lower quadrant bracket signal as it towards Birmingham New Street from Kidderminster. The low speed arm of the signal controlled access to Rood Ends Goods Yard which served several industrial sites with daily trips from Bescot. Peter Tandy.

October 1986
A mish-mash DMU (a 116 with probably a 127 TS) is seen between Langley Green and Smethwick West in the Black Country in October 1986 while working a Stourbridge Junction to Birmingham New Street service. There was, and still is, a 15 minute service frequency on this line so any number of pictures could be taken in a variety of locations. I particularly liked this area because of the industrial backdrop. Peter Tandy.
