This shot of T419 (presumably 51151 closest) is one of those so ordinary that at the time it hardly seemed worth taking and if it hadn't been for the HST in the background disappearing to the north the shutter release probably wouldn't have been pressed. Since my picture was taken on 9 September 1990 the semaphores have gone to be replaced with colour lights and the route has been electrified with 25kv overhead catenary. Peter Tandy.
A picture from 9 September 1990 with class 117 T314 formed of 51348 + 59677 + 51390 working on the Birmingham Cross City line but only between Lichfield City and New Street. The unit is leaving the station to cross over and run back into the Birmingham departure platform, a move necessary before the line was electrified and equipped with bi-directional signalling. For those liking the sun on the front of their trains it seems that I timed both this and the above shot wrongly! Peter Tandy.
On Sunday 9 September 1990 inter-regional trains ran via Lichfield City on the Cross City line in the West Midlands. The usual DMUs were also running and as these terminated here a shunt between up and down platforms was required. In the picture class 117 T314 (51348 + 59677 + 51390), transferred to Tyseley from the Western region in 1988, is and passing the signal box as it entered the station from Birmingham before going out towards Alrewas for its reversal. Peter Tandy.
Last days of dmus on the Cross City line. With masts erected, electrification of the Cross City line is imminent.
