The 12.03pm Kidderminster - Lichfield Central service arrives into Rowley Regis station on 2 April 1977. Formed of two Class 116 DMUs, the closest set TS512 (50051 and presumably 59012 + 50113) appears to have been recently outshopped after refurbishment. Michael Mensing.
Set TS512 (M50051 + M59358 + M50113) is an unusual visitor at Thornaby on March 1st, 1981, for tyre turning John Carter.
M50113 heads the 3-car dmu forming the 12.46 to Stratford-upon-Avon at Leamington Spa on 18 April 1981, presumably with 59012 + 50051. The blue-grey livery includes the West Midlands PTE logo. Tom Burnham.
Class 116 Derby 3-car DMU set TS512 stabled Birmingham Moor Street on 17-2-82. On Tour With the Class 13 Army.
A couple of Class 116 DMUs on an empty stock working from Tyseley to New Street have just passed Small Heath, January 1985. The rear vehicle is 53113 (set TS512). Stephen Burdett.
Barnt Green is the junction for the Redditch branch, the line for which curves sharply away from the Birmingham to Bristol line. Line occupation, especially in the summer, meant that trains from Redditch often had quite a wait in the platform until Saltley Power Box found them a path, especially if they were a minute or two late arriving. The usual class 116 (TS512, presumably 53063 + 59717 + 53119) is shown here on 16 August 1986 waiting at the signal before heading off to Lichfield City via Birmingham New Street. Peter Tandy.
An evening train from Leamington Spa to Birmingham Moor Street had just dropped off a few passengers at Hatton when I photographed it on 24 April 1987. The unit is the usual class 116 3 car - set TS512 presumably 53063 + 59717 (a 115 TS) + 53119. Peter Tandy.
An unidentified Class 58 hauling coal empties from Didcot back to the East Midlands coal fields passes Tyseley based Class 116 DMU TS512 in the station at Leamington Spa in September 1987. Bob Belcher.
