A Class 116 DMU, arriving at Leamington Spa station. January 1987. Not 100% sure, but I believe the date to be 24th January 1987. Paul James.
29th January 1987
The original Birmingham Moor Street station was closed on 26 September 1987 when the line through the tunnel to the redeveloped Snow Hill came into use. In January 1987 I had a few visits to the old Moor Street station to get some representative shots before the idea became too popular later in the year! This picture from 29 January 1987 shows a class 116 DMU with Met-Camm centre car entering the station with a service from Leamington Spa. The adjacent car park with its waist-high wire fence was a convenient location for pictures which also gave a view of the industrial area around Bordesley. Peter Tandy.

Two class 116 units stand in the background at Birmingham Moor Street on 7 February 1987 as passengers leave their train through the manned barriers. The station was due to close in September 1987 and I took a few shots in and around it for the historical record. Peter Tandy.
7th February 1987
Birmingham University station is situated on the stretch of line between New Street and Kings Norton. Running alongside the canal it used to offer some interesting locations but whether this is case since the advent of overhead electrification I could not say. On Saturday 7 February 1987 a Longbridge to Four Oaks service was composed of a class 116 power-twin, a single unit bubble car, and a normally-formed 3 car class 116 set bringing up the rear. This type of mish-mash setup from Tyseley Depot was far from unusual and added to interest of the unit scene around Birmingham. Peter Tandy.
21st March 1987
A nine-car DMU at Barton-under-Needwood on 21st March 1987. A 116 DMS leads the mostly suburban formation, the odd one out being a Met-Camm centre car in second position. Kevin Watson.
4th April 1987
A Class 116 DMU at Birmingham New Street station on 4th April 1987. Very wet day and a horrible location for photography. Bad light meant a slow shutter speed, so the train is blurred although everything else is in focus. Jonathan Hazan.
11th April 1987
An unidentified Class 116 at Proof House Junction on 11/04/87. Steve Jones.
11th April 1987
Late in the afternoon of 11 April 1987 a 3-car class 116 DMU waits to leave Stratford-upon-Avon for Birmingham Moor Street. Steam locomotive 35028, with an ETHEL marshalled behind the tender, was pulling its train forward in platform 2 after being watered before leaving for London Marylebone. Peter Tandy.
18th April 1987
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.

16th June 1987
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.
