Class 122 'bubble car' M55012 arrives into Barnt Green station with the 6.35pm Redditch - Birmingham New Street service on August 7th 1976. Michael Mensing.
With one engine exhaust smoking badly and no sign of exhaust from the other (is it working on one engine?) Class 122 'bubble car' M55012 departs from Barnt Green station with the 6.35pm Redditch - Birmingham New Street service on August 7th 1976. Michael Mensing.
M55012 after a brake failure at Stourbridge Town on 2 April 1977. Walter Burt Collection.
Evening shadows at the original GWR station at Stourbridge Town on July 5th 1977, as Class 122 Single Unit M55012 was against the block awaiting the return journey along the steeply-graded 0.8 mile branch to Stourbridge Junction. The station still retained its BR 1950's enamel Western Region platform nameboard. Martyn Hilbert.
Class 122 M55012 sits in Stourbridge Town station in June 1978, facing the buffers it had crashed through the previous year. Michael Mensing.
Class 122 M55012 in Leamington Spa station on Friday 30 May 1980. M55004 is the other vehicle, the pair are presumably on Stratford-upon-Avon duties. David Russon.
Class 122 bubble car 55012 is seen between Leamington Spa and Warwick on April 11, 1981. Steve Davies Collection.
Class 122 55012 is seen at the front of a north bound Class 120 working at Saltley in the snow on 12.12.1983. Andy Cole.
A GRC&W Class 122 "bubblecar", thought to be M55012, is seen departing from Leamington Spa on 3 April 1984. Nicholas T Smith.
The two-hourly shuttles between Stratford-upon-Avon and Leamington Spa were worked by single-unit DMUs for many years. Now and again a pair would turn up as is seen here when 55012 + 55009 formed the 08.12 to Leamington on 25 July 1984 seen at Stratford-upon-Avon. This picture as taken as I stood on the WW2 air-raid shelter which was a large diameter concrete pipe buried in the ground and reinforced with a couple of feet of earth on top. Peter Tandy.
Class 122 Set TS062 (55012) on a Stourbridge Town - Stourbridge Junction service approaches Stourbridge Junction on Monday 29th April 1985. Colin Brooks.
Class 122 Set TS062 (55012) on a 14:xx Stourbridge Town - Stourbridge Junction service awaits time at Stourbridge Town on Monday 29th April 1985. Colin Brooks.
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.
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.
A Tyseley Class 122 in Derby station. There could be BRUTEs in the van, and parcels are being loaded or unloaded from the passenger saloon, so it could be standing in for a Class 128. There were no details with this negative, but the position of the WM logo and the large BR logo on the van end suggests this is 55012. It was on the same strip as image 31461, and likely circa 1986. Stuart Mackay Collection.
Class 122 55012, set number TS062, is seen stabled at Tyseley in blue and grey livery on 22.02.1986. Andy Cole.
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.
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.
Class 122 No M55012 has just arrived at Stourbridge Town with one of the shuttles from the Junction on 25 November 1987. Keith Long.
