In April 1971 Birmingham Moor Street was a sleepy backwater with a handful of services using it. A class 116 waits for the North Warks line. Stephen Burdett.
Silvertown station on 15 June 1971, the train is the 15.33 from Stratford (Low Level) to North Woolwich. The road has changed little since the removal of the trolleybuses a few years earlier. On the right can be seen the tracks of the Silvertown Tramway, which still saw some use, and one of the Tate & Lyle company's vans, in the characteristic dark blue livery that company used to use for its road transport. The brick building with the faded blue nameboard is the base of the former signalbox, and the cutaway in the end of the platform canopy was to enable drivers of up trains to see the lower repeater arms of a tall junction signal which stood roughly where the short wooden fence is in this view. This indicated to drivers whether they were to continue straight on under the subway beneath the dock, or bear left over the swing bridge. The bridge was sometimes preferred for freight trains as the gradients were not so steep. Tom Burnham.
Now this is proper rolling stock for a Rail Tour, no seat reservation, proper loading facilities, and if the heating is not working you have material at hand to light a fire. Location is Maesteg Llynfi Junction on the 3rd of July 1971. The tour was the Branch Line Society Dulais and Llynfi Valleys Tour, which started in Cardiff and used, apart from this interlude, a Class 116 DMU seen on the left. Loco is pannier tank 9642 now on the Dean Forest Railway. The KDH Archive.

Three class 116 DMUs combine on this Birmingham New Street to Hereford service as it passes Smethwick West on 27/5/1972. Whilst services in those days were not frequent, I would imagine that this was to move I or 2 of the units to Kidderminster or Worcester. The Rowley Hills can be seen in the distance. Stephen Burdett.
