This image comes from Hatton on 14 April 1987 and shows a four car unit with class 121 55034 forming the rear of the train: the evening Birmingham to Banbury service which ran at this time. I seem to recall that it in 1989 it was possible to travel to Banbury and back for the bargain price of £1 after 17.30 from both Birmingham and Stratford-upon-Avon usual an evening rambler ticket although not as early as the date of this picture. Peter Tandy.

A lineside fire in Hatton cutting had just about been extinguished on 15 April 1987 as 55034 went south on the up line with a Stratford-upon-Avon to Leamington Spa train. I don't know what caused the fire but assume that either it had spread from nearby farmland or been caused by 35028 Clan Line which had worked from Stratford to London Marylebone a couple of days previously. There was a BR man on lookout duties on the down side of the line and he was quite happy for me to join him for a couple of photos with access at the time being easy from an unfenced section of a field at the cutting top. Peter Tandy.

Class 122 55009 was leading class 121 55032 on the morning of 18 April 1987 when I photographed them at Hatton as they left the main line at the Station Junction while on the way to Stratford-upon-Avon. Originally a West Country vehicle, 55032 was transferred to Cardiff Canton in October 1982 where it acquired the Red Dragon which it retained after going to Laira in September 1985 and then to Tyseley in May 1986.

In the 1980s it was decided to brand the local rail network Midline. It was short lived but class 121 bubble car 55033 was given an unique livery and is seen here leaving Stourbridge Town for Stourbridge Junction in May 1987. It in fact was working the branch on the last day of these units on it in 1992. Stephen Burdett.

Pressed Steel Suburban Single Car Class 121 DMU 55033 in Midline livery heads a Dorridge train while Gloucester Class 122 Single Car 55005 arrives with a Leamington train on the adjacent platform at Birmingham Moor Street on 13 May 1987. At the time single cars were being added to 3-car sets to raise the power to weight ratio. Moor St terminus closed in September 1987 when the adjacent through platforms to Birmingham Snow Hill were opened. It lay derelict until 2003 when Chiltern Railways reopened two of the original three platforms and renovated the original booking hall to supplement capacity when the Bull Ring development opened. The building under construction is the Pavillions Shopping Centre which was recently rebuilt as the largest Primark store in Europe. Chris Morrison.
