25th February 1981
Suburban snow scene. The shutter speed I'd selected wasn't quite fast enough to stop this first generation dmu as it burst out from under the bridge here at Kings Norton station. The unit was working the 14:02 Lichfield - Longbridge cross city line service on Wednesday 25th February 1981. Meanwhile, a West Midlands PTE Leyland National bus crosses the bridge. Tom Harper.

25th May 1981
Leicester Midland, 25th May 1981. Another grey rainy day in the city. A Class 116 diesel multiple unit enters Leicester Midland from the north past Leicester North signal box and a forest of semaphore signals. This could be my train, the 08.00 train to Nuneaton. In 1981 The Leicester Gap was in full swing and multiple aspect colour light signals wouldn't replace the mechanical signals until 1986-7. In the right distance is Leicester depot with what look like mainly Class 25 diesels on shed. Pete LG99.

One of Tyseley's class 116 dmu's wanders along towards University station with the 12.50 Four Oaks - Longbridge service on 10 December 1981.

When the water is low it is possible to stand in the canal on little islands of sandstone next to the towpath. Geoff Dowling.

"This was taken on Saturday December 12 1981 after the record coldest night when the temperature was around minus 22 degrees. I spent most of the morning at this spot in the 'dip' between Warwick and Leamington Spa, and this was the only train I saw! It is going towards Leamington Spa - I was too cold to get the unit number (it was minus 20 when I took the pic)." Mel Holley.
