29th January 1987
Set: TS524
On 29 January 1987 T524 (presumably 53068 + 59622 (a 127) + 53112) was in Birmingham Moor Street station having arrived from Stratford-upon-Avon and was being prepared to return to the same town. I don't know what the two vehicles to the left of the DMU were doing in the siding but assume that they had been left there after some sort of engineering work over the previous weekend. Freight traffic to the yard here had ceased from 1972; before I started railway photography or even owned a camera other than a plastic Kodak Brownie 127. Peter Tandy.
7th February 1987
Set: TS524
Until 1987, the GWR's Moor Street station was the terminus for trains both from the Leamington Spa and Stratford-upon-Avon lines. When Snow Hill was reopened a two platform through station was constructed adjacent to the terminus, which then became redundant and was closed. On 7 February 1987 the 12.10 to Stratford departs from Moor Street in the capable hands of driver Geoff Davies, the set being TS524, presumably 53068 + 59622 (a 127) + 53112. Moor Street lay derelict for many years, but now has been restored and is now used again by trains to relieve pressure on Snow Hill and to provide shoppers with a more direct route to their destinations. The car park is now part of the new Moor Street station with its own terminus platforms used by many of Chiltern Railways' Marylebone services including those using class 68 power in push-pull mode. Peter Tandy.

My note says "Last train of the day at Redditch". Taken on September 14, 1978, the timetable was similar to that three years earlier, this makes it the 18.35 to Birmingham, the fourth and final train of the day. Set TS507, presumably 50069 + 59007 + 50099. Jeremy Chapter.

Leading is DMBS W50070 displaying 'Birmingham (Old Hill)' on the destination blind. It has set number 326 in the cab window, meaning the centre car is presumably 59026, the set would later become TY526/TS526. Michael Mensing.
