An ECS working at Bescot on 22 November 1991 as Class 108 T066 (51568 + 51943) heads towards the station at Bescot Junction. The elevated portion of the M6 is in the background with the line to Walsall and Sutton Park passing underneath it. Peter Tandy.
As 55032 left Stratford for Leamington Spa I took the opportunity to take a powerfully backlit picture with some exhaust smoke as the unit passed under the GWR footbridge. I took a colour shot just before the train moved away but I think the black & white image works better. Peter Tandy.
Single units DMUs were not all that common on the Leamington Spa to Stratford-upon-Avon line by November 1991 so when I saw class 121 55032 (T012) arrive on 22 November I had a few shots. As the train left the station, platform 1 was being cleaned with a steam washer and two of the station staff, Aubrey Wheeler (left) and Roy Smith respectively were watching what was going on and taking a parcel to the Red Star office. Peter Tandy.
As the sun stayed out at Stratford-upon-Avon after T311 (51334 + 59500 + 51376) had arrived from Birmingham in July 1991 I took another shot as it stood under the GWR footbridge. Class 150 Sprinters were regularly appearing here by this time and T311 wasn't showing as allocated to Tyseley later in the year. Peter Tandy.
Class 117 DMU T311 formed of 51376 + 59500 + 51334 was photographed arriving at Stratford-upon-Avon with an afternoon service from Birmingham in July 1991. Most of the infrastructure in the background has gone and there isn't an equivalent shot worth the effort in 2022. Peter Tandy.
Two class 101/102 Met-Camm units form a Chester General to Woodside train at Rock Ferry. In 1965 when this photo was taken all local Birkenhead to Chester trains were diesel units. The Birkenhead to Paddington service remained steam hauled until the service ended on 5th March 1967. Edgehillsignallman@Flickr.
A freshly-painted Met-Camm twin DMU with a a Helsby train just arrived at Rock Ferry, date unknown. Normally these worked to and from Woodside but this one has terminated here. Edgehillsignallman@Flickr.
A BRC&W twin-set arrives into Chester on an unknown rainy date led by M50540. Edgehillsignallman@Flickr.
A Derby Lightweight DMU stabled at Preston, date unknown. The closest vehicle appears to be M79673. Edgehillsignallman@Flickr.
Two Class 103 Park Royal DMUs at Chester, date unknown. Chester General in its heyday and looking like a proper station. With the goods shed and the footbridge in the background 2 class 103 units are stabled awaiting their next service to Birkenhead Woodside. These units spent a lot of their working life in the Chester area working to Birkenhead, Manchester and into north Wales. Edgehillsignallman@Flickr.
A Birmingham RC&W DMU taken on one of our Saturday journeys to Preston about 1966/67. Interesting that the destination is displayed as Manchester Mayfield which closed in 1960. Edgehillsignallman@Flickr.
A Swindon 3 car class 120 unit at Cardiff General, date unknown. Edgehillsignallman@Flickr.
A Blue Pullman glimpsed at Bristol in August 1965. Edgehillsignallman@Flickr.
All change at Leeds Central as the Liverpool to Harrogate train arrives formed of a Birmingham RC&W DMU. The headcode window is so dirty the headcode cannot be seen, if it is displayed at all. This would be mid afternoon as the Harrogate to Liverpool service which I caught arrived a little later, circa 1966/7. Edgehillsignallman@Flickr.
A Met-Camm DMU in Leeds Central station, date unknown. Note the broken wiper, and the cab partition seems to be red. Edgehillsignallman@Flickr.
