51341
15th May 1987
Set: L406
Stratford-upon-Avon didn't see many vehicles in Network South-East colours. So when I saw from my then kitchen window class 117 L406 (51341 + 59493 + 51383) going towards the station on 15 May 1987 it seemed like a good idea to walk down to the Stratford East signalbox and ask Mick the bobby if I might take a shot from his window as it left a few minutes later. He was always happy for some company so called me up and put the kettle on. I did also take a colour slide but it was so unsharp that no amount of work after scanning made it acceptable. The train was the 17.50 to Birmingham Snow Hill photographed as it passed over the Stratford-upon-Avon canal with a background that has changed beyond recognition with the WW2 cold store having been demolished and the entire site covered with a Morrisons supermarket. Peter Tandy.

20th April 1985
Set: L407
Taken eight months before the line closed forever in December 1985 this 7-car DMU formation made up of two class 117 sets L407 (51342 + 59494 + 51384) + L413 and class 121 set L121 (55021) are seen at the limit of BR working around the site of Blaengarw station which closed on 9/2/1953. The train was the Monmouthshire Railway Society 'Maerdy Gras' tour on April 20, 1985. The line continued a short distance beyond here to serve Garw colliery and the once famous Ocean colliery but tracks beyond here would be considered to be mineral railway so this train came to a stand at the first set of facing points before reversing.
