Class 108 set B960 (54197 and presumably 53602) at Newport with an up passenger service on 27 April 1991. Robert Thomas.
Sandite set A (977820 + 977821) on the up centre road at Cardiff Central on 10 October 1992. The vehicles were formerly 53629 + 52059. Robert Thomas.
53327 + 53314, formerly part of set L842, as tractor units for 975010. Despite this departmental use after withdrawal they were never issued with numbers in the departmental series. Seen at Cardiff Central on 21 October 1998. Robert Thomas.
After withdrawal the power cars from set L842, 53314 + 53327, were used as tractor units for Test Car Iris (975010) due to maintenance issues with its AEC engines. Here the trio are seen stabled at Cardiff Central on 21 October 1998. Robert Thomas.
The Loadhaul route learning bubble 55012 at Knottingley on 1 June 1999. Robert Thomas.
I was at Hatton North Junction waiting for a northbound freight on 28 April 2016 when a fellow photographer told me that Chiltern single unit 121020 was coming south within the next few minutes working from Tyseley to Aylesbury. After a swift move from the field to the footbridge the newly repainted bubble car appeared under the Shrewley Road bridge and stopped at the up line signal to allow a Chiltern Railways train from Stratford-upon-Avon to leave Hatton station for Leamington Spa. A longer lens might have been a better bet for this shot given that there is no scope here for a more broadside view but I had only the one piece of glassware with me on this occasion. Peter Tandy.
AGRC&W class 128 parcel unit 55994 is seen here descending from Miles Platting towards Manchester Victoria on 25 September 1984. I have no idea of the working but with no local timetables it wasn't easy to get hold of such information for diesel unit workings. It was a different matter for the class 40s, my main reason for being in the area in the early 1980s, with every turn of their wheels being documented. Peter Tandy.
Taken at Reading on 30 January 1987 was this picture of 55022 leading driving vehicle 54280 towards Reading station. The destination blind said Marlow which gave to where the unit had been working but on this occasion it went straight though Reading towards Didcot. Peter Tandy.
It was possible to see various parcel units around Reading in 1987 including class 128 single units. This beauty which I photographed on 30 January 1987 is 55992 in gloriously tatty rail blue arriving from the London direction on an unknown working. Peter Tandy.
The terminus platforms at Moor Street station in Brimingham closed in September 1987 and the GWR's principal station in the city, Snow Hill, was rebuilt in a less attractive but more modern style and took over services along with 2 through platforms at a reconstructed Moor Street. This was the scene in 1986 while the civil engineering works were taking place on the renewed track bed leading to Snow Hill tunnel. A class 116 DMU is in one of the platforms and a BL Morris 1800 stands next to a Lada estate in some spare land. The terminus platforms at Moor Street were later reinstated to provide extra capacity for Chiltern Trains' services between Birmingham and London Marylebone. Peter Tandy.
Two class 116 units stand in the background at Birmingham Moor Street on 7 February 1987 as passengers leave their train through the manned barriers. The station was due to close in September 1987 and I took a few shots in and around it for the historical record. Peter Tandy.
The view looking towards Kidderminster at Stourbridge Junction station on a dull day in March isn't one of the finest in the West Midlands. On 1 March 1986 the unusual sight of Cardiff's class 101 C805 (presumably 51530 and 51462) coupled to a class 105 made taking this shot worthwhile. The train was a Kidderminster to Birmingham New Street service long before these went to the rebuilt Snow Hill station. Peter Tandy.
This picture taken a few minutes after https://railcar.co.uk/images/21316 on 1 March 1986 is of class 116 TS516 (presumably 53110 + 59595 ( a 127) + 53074) on a Birmingham to Kidderminster train passing the untidy area around the back of Langley Green signal box. The branch to Albright and Wilson's chemical works is prominent to the left of the picture. Peter Tandy.
In 1986 the line from Smethwick West to Rowley Regis was still controlled by semaphore signals. This picture taken at Langley Green on 1 March 1986 shows Tyseley class 116 T524 passing the platform-based signal box and lower quadrant bracket signal as it towards Birmingham New Street from Kidderminster. The low speed arm of the signal controlled access to Rood Ends Goods Yard which served several industrial sites with daily trips from Bescot. Peter Tandy.
This image shows 47429 with stock in filthy exterior condition on a diverted York to Paddington inter-regional express getting in the background of my picture of one of Tyseley Depot's numerous class 116 DMUs on the way from Birmingham Moor Street to Stratford-upon-Avon 1 March 1986. The reflected sunlight at Small Heath, Birmingham, on the windscreen of the DMU made it impossible to identify the set number. Peter Tandy.
