Set T503
These formations have been noted:
| 53076 | 59631 | 53118 | Listed at TS - Jul-87 |
1986
Most of the suburban passenger trains on the Birmingham Cross City Line were class 116 units but odds and ends turned up from time to time. On this occasion a BR blue centre coach (Class 127 TS 59631), probably one of the few remaining at this time in 1986, made a contrast with the standard blue and grey colour scheme (of presumably 53076 + 53118). I took this slide at Longbridge where most of the trains from either Lichfield or Four Oaks terminated and then crossed over and reversed for the return journey. The British Leyland car factory dominated the background. Following the collapse of BL the whole site was closed and is now a retail park while the railway infrastructure has changed with the advent of OHL electrification going to Redditch and Bromsgrove.

Do you have any images of the set you can add?
