Here is a shot of a class 116 DMU about to enter Droitwich Spa station with a Birmingham new Street to Great Malvern service on 18 April 1987. Although the semaphore signals and their controlling signal box survive in 2015 much else, including the coal yard, the Ruston 0-4-0 shunter and the up loop have disappeared. Peter Tandy.

A general view over the south end of Tyseley Depot on 16 June 1987 as a class 116 stood on the spur to the up main and North Warwickshire lines. Some other of the same class, the most numerous by far in the West Midlands, are visible along with 2 class 108s, one of which has the Buxton white cab ends, and a class 121 single unit. As usual in the daytime most of the depot is empty with the majority of DMU sets being working. Peter Tandy.

This is a shot from the car park at Birmingham Moor Street which I took on 29 July 1987 showing a class 116 through a 200mm lens approaching the station with a train from Leamington Spa. I don't much like the over-use of long lenses but the compressed perspective does work well in some locations with an interesting background. The line to the left is that going to Handsworth, then just a truncated branch line used by a few trip freights but in 2021 is the two-track main line between Birmingham Snow Hill and Worcester. Peter Tandy.
