LPPC DSL BW 1144 With the now closed Ford works in the background a Brush Type 4 Class 47 heads into Leamington Spa with a Birmingham New Street to London Paddington semi-fast via High Wycombe. These trains, at the time, were of limited load and operated to very tight timings, with speeds often in excess of 90mph required between stops. On the left is one of the long-lived and numerous Birmingham area three-car suburban DMUs waiting to depart, on a stopping train, for the second-city’s Moor Street terminus. Keywords: BR, Leamington Spa, Western, Class 47, Passenger, DMU
