Class 116 DMU at Sleaford

13th September 1987

Class 116 DMS 53101 at the rear of set T324 formed with class 115 TC 59672 and class 116 DMBS 53053 at Sleaford on 13/Sep/1987. Robert Chilton.

Class 116 DMU at Leamington

4th October 1987

The stabling sidings at Leamington on 4 October 1987 contain two dmu sets and Class 31 no. 31127. On the left is T324, presumably 53101 + 59672 + 53053. Lewis Bevan.

Class 116 DMU at Coalville

Unknown date

Class 116 set T324 is caught on the Coalville branch. Presumably 53101 + 59672 + 53053, date unknown but possibly on the 1988 open day shuttles? Tom Clift.

Class 116 DMU at Bagworth and Ellistown

5th June 1988

A Coalville - Leicester DMU shuttle led by T324 (presumably 53101 + 59672 + 53053), run in connection with Coalville Open Day, passes Bagworth and Ellistown. The track looks as if it has been affected by mining subsidence. Lewis Bevan.

Class 116 DMU at Rhyl

10th July 1988

Class 116 3-car DMU (with a Class 115 centre car) Tyseley set T324 (53101 + 59672 + 53053) arriving at Rhyl with service for Chester 10-7-88. On Tour With The Class 13 Army.

Class 116 DMU at Abbotswood Junction

17th January 1989

T324 (presumably 53053 + 59672 + 53101) leaves Abbotswood Junction at 15.07 on the 17th January 1989 working the 14.02 Birmingham to Cardiff Central via Worcester Shrub Hill. It is believed a new class 155 was booked for these workings but they were having serious problems after going into service. Dave Gommersall.

Class 116 DMU at Abercwmboi

6th May 1989

53053 with the Tyseley set number T324 is working the 13.08 Aberdare to Penarth service on 06/05/1989. The train is passing the large Abercwmboi Phuracite plant which is happily pumping smoke into the atmosphere. The plant has 2 ex-BR 08 shunters at work in the yard and a mix of different coal wagons can be seen in the background. Geoff Dowling.

Class 116 DMU at Bromsgrove

4th March 1990

Class 116 DMBS 53053 leading set T324, with 59672 and 53101 on the Lickey Incline near Bromsgrove on 4/Mar/1990. The centre trailer is a class 115 TCL. The leading vehicle still retains it's top marker light - originally the earliest batches of class 116s had four marker lights, one above the destination box and three across the cab front. Later the lower centre marker light was removed leaving just the two standard marker lights on the cab front; in most cases the top light was removed at the same time. Robert Chilton.

Class 116 DMU at Nottingham

2nd June 1990

A Class 116 (which looks like it could be set T324 and thus 53101 + 59672 + 53053) and Class 108 with a Nottingham -Skegness service departs from Nottingham Platform 5 on 2nd June 1990. David Page.

Class 116 DMU at Old Hill

11th May 1991

T324 (53101 + 59672 + 53053) leaves Old Hill working the 17:09 Worcester F St-Birmingham New St. on the 11th May 1991. Gazza Prescott.

Class 116 DMU at Hereford

2nd January 1992

T324 (53053 + 59672 + 53101) with T027 (53019 + 54006) at Hereford, having arrived as the 17:30 ex-Birmingham New Street on the 2nd January 1992. Gazza Prescott.

Class 116 DMU at Lea Marston

26th March 1993

First generation DMUs were far from from common on the Birmingham to Derby line by 1993 so it was a surprise when T324 formed of 53055 (class 116) + 59603 (class 115) + 53101 (class 116) appeared at Lea Marston working a Nottingham service, if the headcode panel is to be believed, on 26 March. I can only assume that it was a replacement for an unavailable sprinter and was definitely not an ECS train as there were many passengers visible on board. Peter Tandy.

Class 116 DMU at Birmingham New Street

7th April 1993

T324 M53055 + M59603 + M53101 on the approaches of New Street 7-4-93. Kevin Dowd.
