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 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 Coalville

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 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 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.
