MIDLANDS

The Midlands! May not be everyone's cup of tea, with it being furthest from the coastal resorts etc. However every growing lad wanted their local station to be like Birmingham New St. Yes even more than Crewe!

Aston - Early 82

I'm sure this is a Derby Class 116 DMU. Tell me if I'm mistaken.

Aston - Early 82

I'm sure this is a Derby class 116 DMU as well.

Aylesbury - June 81

Its in the Midlands in my book!

Bedford - 23 March 81

I think unfortunately this roll of film was naff. But having the old Bedford Midland station in the background along with my gorgeous face in the foreground, it just had to be included.

Bedford St Johns (re-site) - Dec 84

Is me or do the platforms look like they've been made from chipboard?

Bescot - Early 82

A couple of Class 25 locos. Us southerners had to travel to see these!

Bescot Yard - Early 82

A whole bevy of locos' a Class 45 with some Class 47s' & a class 56 behind. Super duper!

Bicester Town - August 88

Just after it had reopened. It first closed in 1968 and ran from Oxford - Bletchley. This time it is only seen viable from Oxford - Bicester Town with Islip being the only intermediate stop.

Bicester Town - August 88

A class 47 loco hauling freight. The line remained in freight use during the closed for passenger use years.

Birmingham New St - Early 82

Look at them! Their cheese sarnies and flask of coffee are out of shot! A class 86 loco completes the scene.
