1987
51569
Dating from some time in 1987 is this shot of class 108 BX 489 (51569 + 59207 + 53932) forming the rear half of a six car excursion train at Leamington Spa. I have no idea why I didn't photograph the whole thing and can only assume that the white roof of the trailing set was of more interest at the time. It as unusual for an excursion from the North-West to be in the platform road here and I imagine that some non-stop class 1 special was about to overtake it . Peter Tandy.
16th June 1987
53932
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.
6th September 1987
51569
M51569 (BX489) part of the Buxton allocation is a 1960 built Derby Lightweight Class 108 DMCL, calls at Cheedale Halt with the Summer Sundays only Edale - Buxton ramber service on 6th September 1987, in this view heading towards Buxton rather inappropriately displaying Piccadilly on the destination blind. Cheedale Halt was on the Buxton - Great Rocks freight only line and was opened on the 5th July 1987, it was used by Peak Rail's Rambler's service from Edale-Buxton service, about 3 return trips a day, and closed after the last train had left on the 13th September 1987, so a week after I took this, the freight line is still open.
