Set: TS055
A rural-looking scene taken from the Down Goods Loop looking over the Stratford-upon-Avon canal as class 122 single unit 55005 leaves Stratford with the 08.12 to Leamington Spa in the summer of 1986. The tall upper quadrant signal in the left controlled the train's exit from platform 2 while the lower quadrant semaphore had just been cleared to let a 3 coach class 116 enter platform 1. Peter Tandy.

28th August 1986
The Tyseley-based single units were not only used on the Stourbridge branch and Stratford-upon-Avon to Leamington services, but often strengthened other suburban trains. 55000 is seen here leaving the platform at Longbridge on 28 August 1986 with a terminating train in the process of crossing over to the refuge siding on the up side of line until its departure time for either Four Oaks or Lichfield at the other end of the Birmingham Cross City line. Peter Tandy.

Set: TS052
In 1986 Stratford-upon-Avon's platform 2 was the main departure platform into which arriving trains had to shunt after dropping off any passengers. On 28 August 1986 single unit 55002 was on the two-hourly Stratford to Leamington Spa shuttle and it's shown here leaving with 10.12 alongside a class 116 which had just arrived from Birmingham Moor Street. The exhaust smoke from 55002 clearly shows the individual firing strokes of the engines: the amount of smoke being typical after the long layover between trips. Peter Tandy.
25th September 1986
55002 and a companion sit in the sidings at Leamington Spa on 25th September 1986. Ian Buck.
autumn 1986
Set: TS053
A Spa with Bubbles. M55003 and a classmate have arrived at Leamington Spa in the autumn of 1986 with a shuttle from Stratford-upon-Avon. This Bubble Car had been working from Tyseley since new, but would be reallocated to Laira the following year. Murray Liston.
October 1986
55002 is working the short lived Corby to Bedford service in October 1986 at Bedford. Ian Buck.
4th October 1986
At Longbridge on 4 October 1986 was this hybrid set of single unit class 122 55006 presumably coupled to 59612 + 53100 (class 127 and 116 respectively). These mixed-up sets were from unusual at Tyseley at the time as the depot was suffering with reliability problems from much of its ageing fleet of DMUs. Probably not much for the depot staff but it photographers with an interest in DMUs some odd combinations to record. Peter Tandy.
15th November 1986
Class 122 55002 is seen withdrawn at Tyseley on 15.11.1986. It had been stripped of useful parts and was waiting to go to Vic Berry's for scrapping. Andy Cole.
6th December 1986
The far from unusual sight of a mixed-up Tyseley set on the Birmingham Cross-City Line with class 122 55012 leading a pair of class 116 vehicles at Five Ways on 6 December 1986. There was rather more shadow than I had envisaged but this really should have been anticipated at this time of year! Peter Tandy.
circa 1987
Single car unit DB975042 leaves Hereford with a "route learning" special to Worcester circa 1987. John Crooks.

Departmental Class 122 977223 (ex-55007) on Haymarket depot. The amount of spotters with notebooks this seems to be an organised group visit. Date unknown, 101321 was painted into Strathclyde colours in 1985 so between them and the withdrawal of 977223 in 1989. Stuart Mackay Collection.
