Set TY055

These formations have been noted:

February 1972

"The biggest unstaffed halt in Britain" Snow Hill in 1972 was a massive car park, the only piece of railway was the remnant Birmingham - Wolverhampton service. Here in February '72 Class 122 Gloucester R.C & W built single car unit (set TY055, presumably M55010) waits to depart for Wolverhampton Low Level. Geoff Dowling.

February 1972

A lone Class 122 (set TY055, presumably M55010) is about to leave Birmingham Snow Hill in February 1972. At this time Snow Hill was a gigantic car park with just this one bay operating an infrequent service to Wolverhampton Low Level. The route is fairly similar to that taken by the Midland Metro, the Wolverhampton end is now street running to a new terminus at St Georges. Geoff Dowling.

February 1972

This low wide angle picture of Snow Hill on February 1972 shows just how big the old Snow Hill was, at this stage the platform buildings were intact and even some BR(W) sign work was still in use. Towards the Colmore Row end the track has been filled and surfaced to provide car parking. In the one remaining operational bay a Gloucester RC&W single car unit (set TY055, presumably M55010) waits to plough it's lonely furrow to Wolverhampton L.L. Geoff Dowling.

3rd March 1972

I think my father was photographing these services in conjunction with the closure of Birmingham Snow Hill. In this one a Tyseley single car DMU TY055 (presumably 55010) is seen in Snow Hill waiting to leave on the 16.58 to Langley Green. The KDH Archive.

In this one two Tyseley single car DMU's are seen in Snow Hill, one is waiting to leave on the 16.58 to Langley Green (TY055, right, presumably 55010) and the other has arrived at 16.57 from Wolverhampton. Date is 3rd March 1972. The KDH Archive.
