A mixed DMU formation with "WM" branding, led by a Class 122 "Bubble Car" approaches Warwick on a working to Leamington Spa on 4th May 1985. While the bubble is unknown, the Class 116 is easily identifiable as set TS611 (53055 + 59611 + 53116). Bob Belcher.

1st June 1985
Set: TS053
Class 122 single unit 55003, Tyseley set T053, was in the Cold Store Siding at Stratford-upon-Avon on the sunny early morning of 1 June 1985 alongside a hybrid set led by a class 116 DMBS and numbered T626. The latter had just been started before forming the first train of the day to Birmingham Moor Street, the 06.20 departure from Stratford, while the class 122 would be next with first train to Leamington Spa. Stratford station was both a stabling and signing-on point at the time with several train crews being based here. Peter Tandy.
4th June 1985
The shuttles between Leamington Spa and Stratford-upon-Avon were generally operated with 1 or 2 single units in 1985. On the afternoon of 4 June class 122s 55012 + 55003 were in use and I photographed them climbing Hatton Bank from the field adjacent to the boarded crossing by Hatton Locks. The crossing was subsequently closed and replaced with a tall steel structure as were the other 2 similar crossings in the area. This picture would be impossible in 2021 as the growth of lineside vegetation has been so rampant that one can walk along the paths here and not know that a railway line existed unless a train passed by. Peter Tandy.
8th June 1985
A dmu service for Stratford-upon-Avon slows for the Danzey stop on 8 June 1985. Single-unit M55012 leads the formation. The group of onlookers on the Birmingham platform were awaiting (as was I) GWR 4-6-0 "Clun Castle" on a special train, but when this appeared the train was travelling "under caution" at about 15 mph (possibly because of the preceding dmu), and there was a complete lack of exhaust, leading to a rather lifeless picture. I think this one just about made up for it! Lewis Bevan.

Class 122s set TS062 (55012) and set TS053 (55003) await departure at Stratford-upon-Avon in the early afternoon of Monday 10th June 1985 with a Leamington Spa service. Colin Brooks.

Class 122s set TS053 (55003) and set TS062 (55012) with a 12XX Leamington Spa - Stratford Upon Avon after arrival at Stratford Upon Avon on Monday 10th June 1985. Colin Brooks.
1st July 1985
A single unit on Stratford-upon-Avon to Leamington Spa duties, Class 122 55009 pictured from the towpath of the Grand Union canal on 1 July 1985 just after leaving Hatton and having crossed over both main lines from platform 3. Peter Tandy.
19th July 1985
Set: L101
A rare visitor to Leamington Spa on 19 July 1985 was single car set L101 operating a crew road learning run. This unit was W55001 by now in the Departmental fleet and numbered TDB 975023 and still carrying the overall blue livery from its previous days in passenger service in the London area. Peter Tandy.

5th August 1985
A rare sight of a Gloucester RC&W Class 122 Single Unit, M55006 coupled to the rear of a 2-Car Class 108 departing from Croston with an Ormskirk to Preston service on August 5th 1985. Newton Heath Depot had a pair of Class 122s allocated for use on the Stockport to Stalybridge services, but the appearance of one on the Ormskirk Line was almost certainly a one-off. The former Jubilee Mill complex that forms a backdrop here has now been demolished and replaced with houses. Martyn Hilbert.
30th August 1985
Eastfield's own single car unit 977177 at its home depot on 30/8/85. Spannerman37025.
2nd September 1985
Set: TS053
Tyseley Depot may have been short of serviceable Diesel Parcels Units on 2nd September 1985, as this tidy Gloucester RC&W built single unit 55003 was in the Parcels bays at Northampton, around the time when a Diesel Parcels Unit should have been there! AndrewHA.
