Scrapper. Swindon DMBSL Sc51034 awaiting stripping and boarding up at Falkland Yard, Ayr. The Intermediate Driving Car in the background is Sc51025. Sunday 24 October 1982. alicia hartman.
End of Days. Platform 13 and a six car Swindon Inter-City awaits departure from Glasgow Central. If the station clock is correct, this could be a late running 13:35 hrs to Ayr and Girvan. The slightly cross-eyed domino dots and dirt stains on the DMSL suggests this is Sc51026, probably making it Set 126 413. The rear Set is 126 412. Probably Spring 1982. alicia hartman.
End of Days. Swindon Inter-City 126 412 (probably Sc51042) bringing up the rear of a six car set departing Platform 13 at Glasgow Central for the Ayrshire coast. Swindon 126 413 is leading and the resultant haze of exhaust fumes is drifting towards the camera. Probably Spring 1982. alicia hartman.
During Chiltern Railways' route familiarisation runs for crews prior to the introduction of services to Stratford-upon-Avon 977873 carried some advertising on the unit's sides although it is open to debate how much notice prospective passengers may have taken of it. Taken at Stratford-upon-Avon on 11 November 2004. Peter Tandy.
Prior to the introduction of Chiltern Railways' services to Stratford-upon-Avon there were some route familiarisation runs for crews. On 11 November 2004 single car DMMU set 960014 (977873, ex-55022) was in use and this image shows it shortly after arrival at Stratford. Peter Tandy.
Until 1987, the GWR's Moor Street station was the terminus for trains both from the Leamington Spa and Stratford-upon-Avon lines. When Snow Hill was reopened a two platform through station was constructed adjacent to the terminus, which then became redundant and was closed. On 7 February 1987 the 12.10 to Stratford departs from Moor Street in the capable hands of driver Geoff Davies, the set being TS524, presumably 53068 + 59622 (a 127) + 53112. Moor Street lay derelict for many years, but now has been restored and is now used again by trains to relieve pressure on Snow Hill and to provide shoppers with a more direct route to their destinations. The car park is now part of the new Moor Street station with its own terminus platforms used by many of Chiltern Railways' Marylebone services including those using class 68 power in push-pull mode. Peter Tandy.
The 12.20 Stratford-upon-Avon to Birmingham Moor Street is seen leaving from platform 3, as shown by the lower quadrant signal being in the "off" position, on 8 February 1986. Platform 2's starter was the tall upper quadrant signal protruding from the centre car of the train. Peter Tandy.
Class 120 units were not frequent visitors to Stratford-upon-Avon, especially after a light snowfall with strong winter sunshine. When this happened on 8 February 1986 the unit stuck to its diagram between Birmingham Moor Street and Stratford, which gave me the opportunity for a few shots around the station area. I had good relationships both with the station staff and the regular signalmen and was able to walk around the best photo spots as I wished. This picture shows the 11.10 from Birmingham passing the intermediate starter signal before arriving at the terminus. Peter Tandy.
Manchester Victoria is the location for this photograph of a class 104 unit bursting out of the station with the 10.15 to Blackpool. This was a strange train, at least in my limited experience as I saw it hauled on different occasions by classes 40,45 and 47 as well as the smoky unit pictured on 27 February 1986. Peter Tandy.
On 3 July 1986 55033 + 55004 + 55032 were on a diagram that included the 18.30 from Stratford-upon-Avon to Birmingham Moor Street. I lived near to the line in those days and had seen the train arrive from my kitchen window so had grabbed a camera, had a quick chat with the signalman and made my way to this spot with the gasholders, still in use at the time, and the middle starter signal prominent in the picture. The leading unit, 55033, was the one selected to receive Midline livery a few months later. Peter Tandy.
By 10 August 1992 single unit DMUs were not an everyday sight on the inadequate 2 hourly trains between Leamington Spa and Stratford-upon-Avon so it was worth a walk to the station when 55034 + 55032 were working the 17.05 to Leamington. This shot was taken just as the units were leaving the station and not long after resignalling had meant that a shunt from platform 1, historically the arrivals platform, to P2 was no longer necessary. The rust on the then little used tracks on P2 can been clearly seen. Peter Tandy.
On 3 June 1989 55034 is photographed on the Birmingham to Worcester service from a road bridge south of Bromsgrove station near Stoke Prior. This is a decent location with good views available in both directions and with a shot still available of a train in the down goods loop in 2021 thanks to some much needed clearance of some vegetatiom from the lineside. Peter Tandy.
This was the scene just to the south of Bromsgrove station on 27 July 1989 taken from the bridge known to most local photographers as "Garringtons". At the time the station had a single platorm on the up side meaning that the few trains that called there had to cross over to collect passengers. A single unit, on this occasion 55034, was the usual accomodation for the modest number of passengers on the Birmingham to Worcester services that called here: a situation that had been the case for a number of years. Prominent in the picture are the Lickey Bankers, 37071 + 37032, waiting either for a freight that needed a shove up the 1/37 of the incline or an ailing locomotive or unit needing assistance. The view here in 2021 has changed almost beyond belief with electrification of the line, a new 4 platform station, the removal of the oil terminal and the inevitable construction of multiple housing estates. Peter Tandy.
