A class 122 single car waits to leave Stourbridge Town for Stourbridge Junction in 1969. This station was systematically vandalised over the years, with the canopy first to be removed. Then a new bus shelter and portakabin ticket office were erected where the running in board is. This enabled demolition of the remaining building. Since then the station has been relocated and a new transport interchange opened. The line used to be double here, with a nearby Signalbox controlling it and eventually they were converted to 2 single lines with the right hand one continuing down a fearsome gradient to a goods depot. Notoriety was gained during the 70s with the unit running through the stop blocks, the most serious being in 1977 when the front bogies dropped into Foster street. Fortunately it was Grand National Day and most of the good people of Stourbridge were backing their ggs! Stephen Burdett.

Not yet spring; a GRC&W bubble is working with a Derby suburban set at Spring Road, circa 1970. Stuart Mackay Collection.
This could be a Class 122 bubble arriving into St. Erth station, it'll be well packed if so. Or it could be a Class 116? Either way, a kid is enjoying a cab ride in the June 20, 1970 view. Steve Davies Collection.
Now known as Handsworth, the Saturday only midday Birmingham Snow Hill to Wolverhampton Low Level single car leaves Handsworth & Smethwick in 1971. Snow Hill by now had 6 daily deps to Wolverhampton and 4 to Langley Green. 4 tracks are back in place with the Jewellery Line and the Metro. Stephen Burdett.
The Saturdays only 12.40 to Wolverhampton Low Level waits to leave the largest unstaffed halt in the world, resting in the murk of Birmingham Snow Hill. Only two platforms remained in use for 10 daily departures. Seven on a Saturday and none on Sundays! Stephen Burdett.

A Class 122 single car DMU in Wolverhampton Low Level station. Undated, possibly circa 1972 before closure, and likely on a service to Birmingham Snow Hill. Stuart Mackay Collection.
An everyday scene at Birmingham New Street in the early 1970s, trainspotters relax as the mundane sight of a DMU fails to excite. Peter never bothered to date diesel and electric pictures and this was more of a general scene anyway. I would suggest around 1972. Image taken Peter Shoesmith. In the foreground is likely a Class 116, the other is a Class 122 DTS. Geoff Dowling and John Whitehouse Collection.
GRC&W vehicles on Haymarket depot in June 1972. The Class 122 "bubble" is one of the three parcel vehicles (55013/4/5) - note the lack of door handles on the former passenger doors and the double doors in the center. A Class 100 is on the left. Alistair Ness.
