3rd June 1987
A 2-Car Class 108 DMU at the then recently reopened station at Corby with 2F53 the 10.56 service to Kettering. The reinstatment of a passenger service from the Midland Mainline at Kettering to Corby on what was then a busy freight line was carried out under the "Speller Act", a parliamentary act that allowed BR to introduce an experimental passenger service or reopen a station which if it later proved to be loss making or no longer viable could then be closed without issuing formal closure notice procedures. Corby was reopened on 13th April 1987 but then closed on 4th June 1990. Adrian Nicholls.

Set: T204
On the GWR Birmingham to Leamington Spa line is Acocks Green station which is visible in the background of this picture dated 15 June 1987. My note suggests that this was a driver training run using class 108 T204 formed of 51939 + 52063 and this is possible as 2 car units were uncommon on this line at the time. This was part of the former 4 track section and the wide area of ballast on the right of the picture shows where the now-gone lines were situated. Peter Tandy.

Set: BX489
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. Peter Tandy.
19th June 1987
With Class 142 142045 stood at Leyland with a Liverpool Lime Street to Preston service, a Class 108/104 three-car hybrid DMU was passing on the Up Fast with a Heysham Harbour to Stockport 'limited stop' service on June 19th 1987. The Buxton allocated DMU had been a long way from its home depot and was formed of cars M53925, M59144 & M52065. Following withdrawal by Northern in 2019, 142045 eventually found a new home at Kirk Merrington Primary School in County Durham in 2020. Martyn Hilbert.

It was necessary for any train arriving at Shrewsbury from Wolverhampton to reverse for the return journey by leaving the station, crossing over before going back to one of the departure platforms. The class 108 shown above on 20 June 1987 was doing just that with the line to Chester disappearing into the distance. Peter Tandy.
20th June 1987
I had a few photographic sessions at Shrewsbury in the 1986 and 1987 including a couple on the tower of the castle which gave a great view across the station. On 20 June 1987 I was there as a class 108 was waiting to leave for Wolverhampton with quite a variety of stock visible including classes 08, 37, 47, another 108 a 150 Sprinter plus some Mk2 coaches, not to mention the largest surviving lever-frame signalbox in the country. Note also the back to back 116 DMBSs in the sidings. Peter Tandy.
