I find the livery of the WMR trains very uninspiring.
In North Devon our old uncomfortable two car rattlers are gone, we have 3 car class 158 and 17 trains a day on a weekday.You have more modern trains I believe in the West Midlands, David. The local lines (GW) had old rattle cans here. Maybe since lockdown - I haven't been in Paignton since February this year - there is newer stock.
i am sad Lloyd i know but l like dmus. ever since i had a go at the controls of one with my brother in lawClass 116 DMU at Stratford-Upon-Avon.
On midsummers day, 21st June 1986, a pair of Tyseley allocated Class 116 3-car DMU sets, with 53872 leading, are seen at Stratford-Upon-Avon with a late evening service to Birmingham. Within a few years this familiar scene would vanish as Class 150s took over local services in the West Midlands area. In 2011, the 150s are being replaced by new Derby built Class 172 DMUs.

warwickshirerailways.com and disused-stations.org.uk have quite a few photos of the traverser.I wonder Does anyone remember the traverser that was there in the station ???? I wonder how many photos of that exist in someone's collection ??
Quite a bit of equipment that was for sure...........!!! Thanks for the photos...warwickshirerailways.com and disused-stations.org.uk have quite a few photos of the traverser.
I do. I frequently walked to Shirley Station to catch a train to Moor Street in the early 1950's. I always bought a single ticket as I usually returned home by bus BCT or Midland Red, depending on how much money I had left as Midland Red were more expensive and as a teenager I din;t mind walking.I wonder Does anyone remember the traverser that was there in the station ????
