27th February 1960

July 1961
A Derby suburban triple DMU arriving into Leamington station in July 1961. DMBS W50077 is closest, displaying 'Birmingham (Moor Street)' on the destination blind, the rear power car is the only one of the three with lining. Michael Mensing.
23rd September 1978
Set number: TS513
A class 116 dmu (set TS513, presumably 50077 + 59013 + 50120) rattles over the junction at Water Orton with a Derby to Birmingham New Street service 23/9/1978. Hams Hall power station dominates. Stephen Burdett.
10th July 1987
M53077 is the DMBS on the rear of this set departing from Warwick station on July 10, 1987. The centre car is a 115, 59650. Malcolm Clements.
5th June 1988

5th June 1988
The end is nigh for ex Tyseley Class 116 DMBS M53077 as the front half of the body rests on the ground alongside an empty skip in Vic Berry's Yard, Leicester on Sunday 5th June 1988. The rear portion of DMBS M53077 is visible on the ground looking through the drivers window. The blue DMU coach on the left of the image, Class 104 DTCL M54177, is interesting as most publications have her scrapped in March 1988 whereas she obviously was still complete in June of that year. Bob Woolnough.
5th June 1988
The rear half of ex Tyseley TMD Class 116 DMBS M53077 lies on the ground at Vic Berry's Yard, Leicester on Sunday 5th June 1988 unlikely to see another weekend as a line of withdrawn vehicles look on. The blue and grey coach to the left is a fellow Class 116, the next is a blue Class 104 and I think the one to the right is a Class 501 EMU vehicle. Finally half of an unknown Class 116 coach lies behind M53077. Bob Woolnough.
The vehicle is mentioned in the following images:
Date: mid-1974
Set number: TY513
In mid-1974 Class 116 set TY513 (50120 at the front, presumably with 59013 + 50077) leads a Swindon Cross-Country set at Wylde Green heading for Lichfield City. Michael Mensing.
Date: 22nd May 1976
Set number: TS513
Class 116 DMU set TS513 (presumably 50120 + 59013 + 50077) with a Class 120 on the rear seen in Smethwick West station on 22 May 1976. Michael Mensing.
Date: 20th April 1980
Set number: TS513
Nuneaton 20 April 1980. Despite having "Special" as a destination, this three-car class 116 diesel set is heading to a fairly normal destination in the form of Coventry. The formation of set TS513 at this time was 50120/59013/50077, a formation it held from 1969 to 1983. Jeremy Chapter.
Date: 27th August 1983
Set number: EP524
Class 120 DMBC M53719 (set EP524) on the 14:05 Birmingham New Street-Peterborough service sits next to stabled Class 116 DMBS M53077 (set TS513) at Leicester on 27 August 1983. Robert Thomas.
Date: 3rd August 1985
Set number: TS513
The non-too common sight of a Tyseley allocated Derby built Class 116 Suburban three-car DMU (M53120, M59442 & M53077) at Bamber Bridge with a Colne to Preston service on August 3rd 1985. With its Tyseley Depot board in the cab window (TS513), it would appear that the unit had been temporarily allocated to Newton Heath Depot to cover a shortage of DMU sets. Martyn Hilbert.
Date: 14th June 1986
Set number: TS513
Longbridge station on 14 June 1986 has on the right 53120 leading away from the station on the Cross City Line to Lichfield City. The Class 121 DTS in use as a centre car is presumably 54284, the Class 116 DMBS on the rear should be 53077, these forming set TS513. A sister unit is in the down platform with a train for Redditch, the other end of the line. Peter Tandy.
Date: 5th May 1987
M53120 (with 59650 + 53077) at Birmingham New Street on 05/05/87, Steve Jones.
Date: 10th July 1987
Class 115 59650 is the centre car in this 3-car set seen at Warwick on 10/7/87, 53077 is on the left. Malcolm Clements.
Date: 7th September 1987
Set number: TS513
Class 116/115/116 set T513 (presumably 53120 + 59650 + 53077) runs past Stratford-upon-Avon East signalbox on 7 September 1987. The train was working the 14.10 to the terminus from Birmingham Moor Street. Peter Tandy.
Date: 29th June 1988
Set number: TS513
This picture was taken on 29 June 1988 when I was scoping out a few locations for shots of steam workings on a weekend of intensive specials between Tyseley and Stratford-upon-Avon. The train is a Birmingham Moor Street to Stratford formed of class 116 TS513 (presumably 53120 + 59650 + 53077 - although their withdrawal pre-date the image!). Henley station can just be made out in the background and it appears that the leading cab of the unit has taken a bit of a clout in the recent past. Peter Tandy.
