Before they took over the Norwich trains from the dreadful DMUs, Brush type 2's were not common at New Street.

This is Platform 1 and the location, angle of sun and headcode display suggest train is 1V28 10.25 to Paddington. This was return of 06.45 from Paddington and occasionally worked by Old Oak class 31s, singly or in pairs.
Sun is low, and man on platform 1 is wearing a coat, which suggests winter.
