Class 116 DMU at Sutton Coldfield

mid-1987

I am not able to date this photograph other than it was taken sometime in mid-1987 because the negative was in the folder for that year but without a corresponding entry in any notebook. The location is clearly Sutton Coldfield station and the class 116 set TS520 (presumably 53905 + 59329 + 53826) was leaving to cross through the heart of Birmingham on its way to Redditch in Worcestershire. The driver's side of the cab has received a bit of a clout, probably in the crowded Tyseley depot. Peter Tandy.

M53905 leads set TS520 into Warwick station on July 10, 1987. Malcolm Clements.
