One of my first ever train photos. As a kid we always had all our holidays in the west highlands which usually involved a few days out and about on the type 2s. Not sure which 27 it was or even if we caught this train on this occasion. Happy days.

On Wednesday 16th December 1987 Class 141 unit 55533/55513 stands at Birmingham New Street on a 5Z25 Bromsgrove to Bromsgrove test train.

The nearest any of the production Pacers got to Birmingham in normal service was Worcester and so this must be a pretty rare event. I didn't know it was running I just happened to be there.

Scan from colour print, not a great shot but worth sharing for the rarity value.
