Class 116 DMU at Henley-in-Arden

1986

A snowy day in Henley in Arden early in 1986 with a class 116 DMU departing towards Birmingham. Displaying set number TS621 in the cab window the vehicles are presumably 53919 + 59604 + 53837. Bob Belcher.

Class 116 DMU at Smethwick West

29th August 1986

This isn't the greatest shot of Smethwick West signal box but I was keen to have a few pictures of trains passing it as even in 1986 there were reports of its closure. This finally happened in 1990 when the line was resignalled. Here is my only picture of a DMU passing the box with T621 (presumably 53837 + 59604 + 53919) passing by on a Birmingham New Street to Great Malvern service on 29 August 1986. I once spoke to a relief signalman who worked the box on occasions and was told that the frame interlocking area had a large population of rats in residence and that the relatively isolated location made it a target for vandals from the surrounding area. Few signalmen mourned its passing. Peter Tandy.

Class 116 DMU at Blaenau Ffestiniog

22nd July 1987

Tyseley DMU set TS621 (53837 + 59604 + 53919) in Blaenau Ffestiniog station on 22 July 1987. Keith Miller.
