1st September 1985
Taken from one of the Coalville Open day DMU shuttles, travelling along the freight only line from Leicester to Burton-on-Trent, we pass Coalville signal box which stood over the High Street/Hotel Street level crossing. Today the box and its semaphores have long gone, but the signal box is now preserved and was at the nearby Snibston Discovery Museum, but the museum closed on the 31st July 2015! 1st September 1985.

1985
This picture was taken in the early Autumn of 1985 on a misty day with 3 Tyseley class 116s DMUs adding to the general murk at Saltley, Birmingham. The train was a Birmingham New Street to Skegness service and I assume that this was a regular timetabled working that would cease from the September timetable change. The buffer stops between the two running lines on the left mark the rear end of the headshunt used by banking locomotives required to give heavy freights a shove up the bank near St Andrews. This was a daily sight when loaded MGRs ran this way from East Midlands coalfields to Didcot Power Station which were banked on the approach to Bordesley Junction. Peter Tandy.

1986
The terminus platforms at Moor Street station in Brimingham closed in September 1987 and the GWR's principal station in the city, Snow Hill, was rebuilt in a less attractive but more modern style and took over services along with 2 through platforms at a reconstructed Moor Street. This was the scene in 1986 while the civil engineering works were taking place on the renewed track bed leading to Snow Hill tunnel. A class 116 DMU is in one of the platforms and a BL Morris 1800 stands next to a Lada estate in some spare land. The terminus platforms at Moor Street were later reinstated to provide extra capacity for Chiltern Trains' services between Birmingham and London Marylebone. Peter Tandy.
1986
A class 116 made unidentifiable by the board telling passengers that it is a an express between Worcester Shrub Hill and Birmingham New Street was photographed in about 1986 passing non-stop through Langley Green station. The magnificent buildings in the background are the Langley Green maltings know as Showall's Maltings after the brewer Walter Showall who brewed beer nearby for distribution across the West Midlands. The Maltings were built in 1898 alongside the Titford Canal and continued in use until 2006. Peter Tandy.

1st March 1986
This image shows 47429 with stock in filthy exterior condition on a diverted York to Paddington inter-regional express getting in the background of my picture of one of Tyseley Depot's numerous class 116 DMUs on the way from Birmingham Moor Street to Stratford-upon-Avon 1 March 1986. The reflected sunlight at Small Heath, Birmingham, on the windscreen of the DMU made it impossible to identify the set number. Peter Tandy.

5th May 1986
Two 3 car Tyseley allocated Derby Suburban 1957 built class 116 dmu's lay over in the head shunt at Matlock on 5th May 1986. This scene has been altered here now, as there is now a through connection between Network Rail to Peak Rails site at Rowsley 4 miles away. Andrew J Crowther.
14th June 1986
I spent a couple of minutes lining up this shot at Longbridge on 14 June 1986 and whilst waiting for the Four Oaks bound on the far platform train to move, heard the unmistakeable racket of a pair of 37s thundering south. I was, of course, completely bowled by this train, which must have been an additional working as everything else due had turned up as expected. Still, if the loco-hauled train hadn't been occupying the down main, then the unit closer to me would have been on its way to Redditch thus, lessening the attraction of the shot, by this time. The background in both the station and beyond has changed beyond recognition with overhead catenary in place to the west as far as Bromsgrove and the huge BL complex having been demolished to be replaced with the inevitable out-of-town shopping complex.
