A Class 108 2-car DMU seen at Oxenholme with a Windermere service in August 1973. A classic branch line working for one of the reliable Derby built Class 108 DMUs, seen at Oxenholme station - we took this train to Windermere. Taken with my basic Kodak Brownie using 120 roll film. Chris McKee.
Scottish Region Metro Cammell DMU (set 237) at Dundee station. Whilst based in Montrose on holiday, the young photographer managed to visit Aberdeen, Dundee, Kirkcaldy and Edinburgh Haymarket. A 6-car DMU is seen in one of the bay platforms at Dundee, headed by a 3-car Metro Cammell unit. Interestingly, the Dundee-Edinburgh trains reverted to loco haulage in the 1980s - many a fine ride behind steam heat 'Tip Tops' (Class 27s) was to be had until 1986. Taken with my basic Kodak Instamatic using 126 cartridge film. Chris McKee.
51106 (P587) waits for departure at Okehampton station circa 1971/2. P587 transferred to Devon in 1971 and Okehampton station closed in 1972, although it is soon to reopen. The driver looks out of the window at the poster board stripped of posters and the smashed windows on the platform and the secondman reads his paper, whilst waiting for the 'right-away'. The destination blind is showing the bottom half of Lawrence Hill and the top half of Maiden Newton, reflective of the fact it had recently transferred from Bristol. Collection of Greg Scott.

No details with this image, but it is almost certainly a Class 118, near Terras Bridge on the Looe branch. Ian Dinmore/railarchive.org.uk.

Many suburban DMUs are seen stabled at Worcester depot in this view from Shrub Hill station, date unknown. Ian Dinmore/railarchive.org.uk.
Suburban DMUs at the Worcester Shrub Hull stabling point (with a 116 on the right) are seen behind the tractor pulling the empty BRUTES across the crossing. Ian Dinmore/railarchive.org.uk.
Two suburban DMU sets seen at Hereford from Aylestone Hill bridge, date unknown. Ian Dinmore/railarchive.org.uk.
Class 119 DMU set B590 (presumably 51087 + 59418 + 51058) stabled at Hereford alongside a Class 37 and 56. Date unknown. Ian Dinmore/railarchive.org.uk.
Two two-car Class 108s with "Barrow" shown on the destination blind depart Grange-over-Sands station. Ian Dinmore/railarchive.org.uk.
A two-car Class 108 DMU on the Barnstaple branch. It is about to cross one of the many bridges over the River Taw, thought to be 'Wash House Bridge' to the east of Eggesford. Date unknown. Ian Dinmore/railarchive.org.uk.
This was taken at Banbury on 25 January 1986. At the time, there was no fence obscuring the view from the trackside just to the south of platforms and no-one seemed to mind if one stood there to take pictures. It was, of course, the ideal spot on a sunny Saturday afternoon when there was quite a variety of movements, both unit and locomotive hauled. This shot shows trailer 54280 and a single unit "bubble car" leaving the main line platform at Banbury on their way to Oxford as an all stations stopping service. Peter Tandy.
You go for a quiet shot of a DMU on a Sunday afternoon and look what happens! Tyseley's class 116 T567 with a class 101 centre coach was approaching Stratford-upon-Avon on 2 August 1987 when 4771 Green Arrow muscled into the shot. The shot was taken from a convenient industrial site to which access was allowed if the right security guard happened to be on duty. The other photographers alongside me were sweating a bit when they heard the DMU approach but it cleared in plenty of time as Green Arrow put up a good display with Gordon White, the Leamington Spa driver usually driving these specials, clearly full of confidence in both his and the engine's capabilities. Peter Tandy.
Class 117 B427 (51407, 59517 + 51365) were pictured at Droitwich Spa with a Hereford to Birmingham New Street train on 6 July 1985. In all honesty I took this shot largely because of the presence of some loaded wagons in the siding alongside the up loop; the first and indeed only time I saw anything on either line. Peter Tandy.
Tyseley's class 116 T615 (presumably 53850 + 59591 + 53102) working a Birmingham New Street to Hereford service approaches the stop at Langley Green station on a dull and misty 5 June 1986 as 31 142 takes chlorine tanks from Allbright and Wilson's through the yard at Rood End to Bescot and eventually ICI Wilton. Peter Tandy.
Early in the morning of 4 June 1986, while waiting for the weedkiller with 47 013 to arrive I took this shot of a class 116 (TS609, presumably 53894 + 59603 (a 127) + 53853) leaving the siding to form the 06.30 to Birmingham with the driver Oliver, whose surname I forget, standing in the cab. At this time, Stratford was a signing-on and stabling point and if one was lucky a unit would have been put in this siding on the previous night. This piece of track was not regularly used and I was pleased to get this shot with the lower quadrant signal in the "off" position, even though the sun was not yet properly on the track. Peter Tandy.
Barnt Green is the junction for the Redditch branch, the line for which curves sharply away from the Birmingham to Bristol line. Line occupation, especially in the summer, meant that trains from Redditch often had quite a wait in the platform until Saltley Power Box found them a path, especially if they were a minute or two late arriving. The usual class 116 (TS512, presumably 53063 + 59717 + 53119) is shown here on 16 August 1986 waiting at the signal before heading off to Lichfield City via Birmingham New Street. Peter Tandy.
Barnt Green station is the junction on the main Birmingham to Gloucester line where the branch to Alvechurch and Redditch, and formerly Evesham, diverges. On Saturday 16 August 1986 I was standing on the site of the old Goods Yard when a 6 car DMU came from the Birmingham direction with a New Street to Barry Island train formed of Tyseley's T632 (presumably 51308 + 59475 + 51323) and another suburban unit with a centre car from a different class; far from unusual at this time. Peter Tandy.
