Making a spirited climb of the Lickey Bank is one of Tyseley's 3 car class 116 units although the centre car is a newly painted class 101 Metro-Cammell coach - set TS557, presumably 50100 + 59131 + 50840. The passengers are enjoying a fine view from the front windows as they head towards Blackwell at the summit of the climb. The unit, which started from Worcester, has Four Oaks on the blind although I do not remember services from Worcester going beyond Birmingham New Street. 25/08/1979. Geoff Dowling.
The driver of a Metro-Cammell 2 car set is leaning out of his cab to take the token from the signalman who holds it ready. The exchange is being made at Machynlleth station with a Shrewsbury - Aberystwyth train. To the far left of the scene the goods yard has a number of 4 wheeled vans in the sidings. I would guess the date at around 1971. Peter cut this 6x6 cm neg down because of damage in the sky thus losing the top of the telegraph pole, if only he could have foretold the arrival of photoshop! Image taken by Peter Shoesmith. Geoff Dowling and John Whitehouse Collection.
The new Coventry station is well on the way to being re-built in this photograph from 1963, the new station is a gleaming temple of concrete to greet the new age of electrification. The platform buildings seem complete but much is still needingto be done for the main buildings,Station Square has not been started. The new station platform lights have red tops, a feature that was short-lived. In the foreground a Metro-Cammell DMU is leaving for Nuneaton, the one in the background could be for Leamington or Rugby, both are in original livery with speed whiskers. The slide was a bin rescue job from the University of Birmingham. Geoff Dowling Collection.
Nearest the camera is Birmingham RC&W DMBS 50451. The unit is in one of the bay platforms at Manchester Victoria station. This station, even in diesel days, seemed to live up to the 'Victoria' part of it's name, the old world atmosphere is helped here by the porter and handcart ambling past the DMU. The train, photographed 26/04/1982, was operating on the Oldham circular service. Geoff Dowling.
Dwarfed by the tall Chimneys of the London Brick brickworks a Cravens dmu approaches Lidlington. The class 105 unit is 56120 & 50393 and they are working the 11.00 Bedford - Bletchley service on 10/10/1979. Geoff Dowling.
Looking towards the north end of Preston station there was not a lot to excite the traction enthusiast at 16.55 on 29th March 1980, just a lone 2 car class 108 DMU waiting for some custom. The station was built in 1880 jointly for the LNWR and the L&Y railways by engineer William Baker, because of demolitions and additions over the years it is not a listed building*. *Source: The Railway Heritage of Britain, Biddle & Nock 1983.
