Class 116 DMU at Water Orton

23rd September 1978

Set number: TS513

A class 116 dmu (set TS513, presumably 50077 + 59013 + 50120) rattles over the junction at Water Orton with a Derby to Birmingham New Street service 23/9/1978. Hams Hall power station dominates. Stephen Burdett.

Class 116 DMU at Warwick

10th July 1987

M53077 is the DMBS on the rear of this set departing from Warwick station on July 10, 1987. The centre car is a 115, 59650. Malcolm Clements.

A partially dismantled M53077 at Vic Berry's, 5/6/88. Jerry Glover.

Class 116 DMU at Vic Berrys Scrapyard, Leicester

5th June 1988

The end is nigh for ex Tyseley Class 116 DMBS M53077 as the front half of the body rests on the ground alongside an empty skip in Vic Berry's Yard, Leicester on Sunday 5th June 1988. The rear portion of DMBS M53077 is visible on the ground looking through the drivers window. The blue DMU coach on the left of the image, Class 104 DTCL M54177, is interesting as most publications have her scrapped in March 1988 whereas she obviously was still complete in June of that year. Bob Woolnough.

Class 116 DMU at Vic Berrys Scrapyard, Leicester

5th June 1988

The rear half of ex Tyseley TMD Class 116 DMBS M53077 lies on the ground at Vic Berry's Yard, Leicester on Sunday 5th June 1988 unlikely to see another weekend as a line of withdrawn vehicles look on. The blue and grey coach to the left is a fellow Class 116, the next is a blue Class 104 and I think the one to the right is a Class 501 EMU vehicle. Finally half of an unknown Class 116 coach lies behind M53077. Bob Woolnough.
