An interesting formation working the 2.55pm to Dudley in Birmingham Snow Hill on 1 April 1961 - two Derby suburban power cars (later Class 116s) with a GRC&W "double ender" (later a Class 122) as a centre car. The DMS closest is possibly W50099. Michael Mensing.
W50099 is at the front of a Derby suburban / Swindon Cross-Country formation at Bentley Heath in June 1961. Michael Mensing.
The 4.25pm Wellington - Lapworth service on July 25, 1961, seen leaving Olton, is formed of two Derby suburban triples with a Swindon Cross-Country set in between. Michael Mensing.
W50099 leads a Derby suburban triple DMU set past Evesham (GW) goods yard on 14 April 1962. Michael Mensing.
Class 116 DMU set TY507 (presumably 50099 closest) in Hall Green station circa early 1970s. John Horne Collection.
Two Class 116 sets led by TY507 (M50099 at the front, presumably with 59007 + 50069) at Four Oaks on a Lichfield City service in the summer of 1974. Michael Mensing.
Class 116 DMU set TY507 - presumably 50099 + 59007 + 50069 - at Langley Green with a Lichfield City service on 14 June 1975. Michael Mensing.
M50099 leads set Class 116 set TS507 (presumably with 59007 + 50069) at Sutton Coldfield in Autumn 1976, with a Swindon Cross Country set on the rear. Michael Mensing.
A recently refurbished Derby class 116 unit at Swindon 19/8/78, containing 50099 + 59007 + 50069 which formed set TS507. Sparegang.
Tyseley DMU set TS507 Class 116 catches the setting sun approaching Bescot station. Presumably 50099 + 59007 + 50069. Ian Charles.
Class 116 set TS507 (53099 presumably closest) in Blake Street station with a Longbridge service in 1987. John Law.
Class 116 set TY507 (presumably 50069 + 59007 + 50099), circa 1970, probably at Birmingham New Street station. Stuart Mackay Collection.
Class 116 DMU set TY507 (presumably 50069 + 59007 + 50099) is seen at Rowley Regis on Saturday 2 April 1977 heading for Lichfield City. Michael Mensing.
My note says "Last train of the day at Redditch". Taken on September 14, 1978, the timetable was similar to that three years earlier, this makes it the 18.35 to Birmingham, the fourth and final train of the day. Set TS507, presumably 50069 + 59007 + 50099. Jeremy Chapter.
