Set Number: CR253
circa 1971
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!

1963
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.
