Class 122 single unit 55009 was working a Leamington Spa to Stratford-upon-Avon service when I photographed it on the misty lunchtime of 24 April 1987. The picture was taken from the new bridge being built over the line near Bishopton as a new stretch of the A46 road was under construction. Behind the camera on the other side of the road is Stratford Parkway station and unusually the shot is still possible in 2023. Peter Tandy.
Single unit 55009 was working on the Stratford-upon-Avon to Leamington Spa shuttles on 1 May 1987. This location on the canal towpath just outside Stratford Station was just the job for a bubble as the unit fitted nicely between all the poles and posts without anything appearing to grow out of its roof. This spot isn't a lot of use in 2023 as the undergrowth has flourished. Peter Tandy.
I was a frequent visitor to Stratford-upon-Avon East signalbox when the late Mick Lloyd was on duty. This shot of class 122s 55012 + 55009 was taken looking towards the station on 1 May 1987 as the single car units were on the 12.12 to Leamington Spa. Peter Tandy.
58 044 runs through the centre road at Leamington Spa on 6 May 1987 at "Bubbles" 55000 and 55006 sit in the plaform. Note 55000 has "125" to the right of the BR logo on the bodyside. Steve Jones.
Double bubble. 55000 & 55006, having formed the 13.11 arrival from Stratford Upon Avon, wait at Leamington Spa on 06/05/87. Steve Jones.
On May 9, 1987, a month after the passenger service to Corby had been re-instated, Class 122 55004 takes a full load past Corby North box (south of Corby station!) on its way to Kettering and connection with the outside world. Mike Dean.
On 25 May 1987 I was on the tower of Shrewsbury Castle ready for a shot of D200 working a Cardiff to Crewe service. Shortly before this came along BR blue single unit, 975042, forming part of the departmental fleet. As it arrived at the station looking a bit dwarfed by its surroundings, including the Severn Bridge Junction signal box, there was no other traffic in sight save the 08 shunter. In the 2021 the signal box benefitted from a £250,000 refurbishment which, in times gone by, would quite possibly have meant imminent closure! Peter Tandy.
