25th July 1972
Set: TY054
Class 122 M55009 New Street 25 July 1972. This is most unusual as it has a correct destination blind but is working on it’s own and not strengthening another set. There can’t have been a diagram for a single unit to work a timetabled train into New Street surely and I’ve never seen this happen before. Possibly a working to Moor Street from Stratford that was diverted for some reason. The line from Wolverhampton Low Level to Snow Hill closed in March 1972 so it can't have been a diversion from that either. I don’t think it’s an ECS from Tyseley as there seems to be a member of the public leaning out behind the guard. Alistair Ness.

25th July 1984
55009 + 55012 formed the 08.12 to Leamington on 25 July 1984 seen at Stratford-upon-Avon. The trailing car 55009 was one of the few remaining in the all-over blue livery. The background has completely changed in the intervening years. The football ground just visible to the left is now a Morrisons supermarket, the warehouses and chimney stacks above the train have gone although the office block, probably the ugliest building in the town, is still extant and Stratford East Signal box has been demolished. Peter Tandy.

Long before the Stourbridge branch went over to flywheel electric units the mainstay of operations were the Tyseley allocated class 122 'Bubble Cars'. Here all over blue liveried 55009 sits at the terminus of Stourbridge Town before departure back up the hill to Stourbridge Junction with the 16.11 service on August 11, 1984. The crew keen to avoid the summer heat on the train are seen chatting in the station waiting shelter. Adrian Nicholls.

In the British Rail era the short Stourbridge Junction to Stourbridge Town branch was worked for many years by single car class 122 DMUs. Here Tyseley based set TS053 (car no.55009) is seen exchanging passengers before forming train 2H66 the 15.59 to Stourbridge Town on 11/08/84. Unlike today where each trip is allocated a unique train number back in 1984 every train on the branch ran as 2H66. Adrian Nicholls.
