Kings Sutton was a charming little station south of Banbury, it retained a GWR wayside halt feel to it then along came Network South East. Not content with installing enough station lights to land a 747 at night they then painted everything they could lay brush on the brightest red they could find at Wimbledon B&Q. Of course the station users still had to cross the busy main line on a curve to access the northbound platform, not that many did use the station then, the partially dirt surfaced car park only has a grubby Ford Cortina and the authors BMW K100 bike in it. This was the pre-Chiltern era and the train is a collection of Network South East DMUs lead by Class 115 51893 (presumably paired with 54257) working the 10.20 Banbury - Marylebone. 17/03/1990. Kings Sutton is now painted a less strident blue and has a large footbridge. The car park is now much larger, properly surfaced and full to capacity every day. Geoff Dowling.
A frosty Henley-in-Arden. The last day of the 1970's, tomorrow would be a new decade, how better to celebrate than an end of the year photograhy session. The outline of the footbridge is etched in the frost as a Metro-Cammell class 101 dmu heads for Birmingham Moor Street with the 12.19 service from Stratford-upon-Avon. Today the scene has changed, the two siding roads under the camera have gone, all traces of mechanical signalling have been swept away, the trackside is a tree tunnel with the houses hidden completely. Geoff Dowling.

Cravens class 105 56120 is the rear car of the 12.10 Bletchley - Bedford. The train has just left Stewartby and it is about to pass the smoking chimneys of the London Brick brick works.

Standing under the vast roof of Birmingham New street (Midland side) is a Cravens, future class 105, DMU the driver of which is in a uniform of jacket over overalls and peaked cap, in those days it was possible for train crew to get steam or diesel to drive.
