A Derby suburban triple DMU at Swindon circa 1959. It is Tyseley allocated set with W50106 closest displaying Worcester Shrub Hill on the destination blind. Stuart Mackay Collection.
M53106 leads a class 116 set waiting to leave Birmingham Moor St with an evening service in Autumn 1986. Murray Liston.
A common sight for many years were Derby class 116 suburban DMUs at Birmingham Moor St. Here M53106 heads a set waiting to form a service to Leamington Spa in the autumn of 1986. Murray Liston.
Class 116 Derby suburban 3-car DMU set TS625 {presumably 53106 + 59616 + 53056) in Birmingham Moor Street late Feburary 1987. On Tour With The Class 13 Army.
Friday 03/04/1987, 1520 hours at Whitchurch (Shropshire). Set TS625 has just arrived with the 1450 service from Shrewsbury which terminates at Whitchurch. The driver enters 53106 before commencing a reversing move to transfer the set to the Shrewsbury bound platform. The set will then work the 1525 service to Shrewsbury and Wolverhampton. Note that the date shown on the cab board is wrong - this photo was taken on 03/04/1987! In 1987 this was the only service on the Shrewsbury to Crewe line to terminate and reverse at Whitchurch. The crossover which allowed this reversal was removed many years ago so it is no longer possible. Robert Hope.
Friday 03/04/1987, 1520 hours at Whitchurch (Shropshire). Set TS625 has just arrived with the 1450 service from Shrewsbury which terminates at Whitchurch. The driver has reversed TS625 to the crossover and is now moving to the southbound platform ready to form the 1525 service to Shrewsbury and Wolverhampton. 53106 leads the set. The view looks north to Crewe. Robert Hope.
Two of Tyseley's four-car suburban DMU sets in Skegness station circa mid-1988. Closest is set T403 (presumably 53106 (Class 116 DMS) + 59616 (Class 127 TSL) + 59641 (Class 127 TS) + 51852 (Class 115 DMBS) with set T411 on the rear. Brian Ward.
Network South East’s “Network Day” on 16th April 1988 turned out to be dull and damp but armed with a ticket giving me the freedom of the network, I headed for Kent. A surprise sight at Ramsgate was this 4 car Tyseley DMU. No idea where it came from, it doesn’t feature on Six Bells Junction. Must have been a relief for passengers to alight here on what must have been a long journey (wonder what route it took) from the Midlands. Set T403 was a bit of a hybrid, the front car here is class 116 53106, the centre cars were class 127 vehicles displaced from Cricklewood by the Bed-Pan electrification, and the rear car was class 115 51852. A real mystery… Murray Liston.
Class 116 DMS 53106 at the rear of set T403 formed with class 127 TSL 59616, class 127 TS 59641 and class 115 DMBS 51852 seen curving away towards Skegness in the summer sun near Boston on 8/Jun/1988. Robert Chilton.
53106 leads T403 into Ely with a Birmingham bound train, 19/9/88. In the left cab window is a sign which reads "?????? Express from Birmingham" (I can't make out the first line). Mac Winfield.
T403 (53106 + 59607 + 51852) have arrived ECS at Birmingham New St ready to a rush hour service, 6/3/93. Gazza Prescott.
53106 at the rear of set T403 (51852/59607/59499/53106 on this day) departing from University station, Birmingham, on the 13.36 New St - Redditch on 10/4/93. Leonard Rogers.
A Derby suburban triple set at Acocks Green during early June 1962. The DMBS W50071 is carrying set number 308 in the cab window so the other vehicles are presumably 59008 and 50106. Michael Mensing.
A Class 116 DMU at Duffield in September 1983. It looks to be set TS511 (presumably 53054 + 59626 + 53106). Mel Smith.
Class 116 DMS 53106 sits beside 151 001 in Derby station in 1985. David Faircloth.
Tyseley based DMU set T403 (presumably cars 51852 + 59641 + 59616 + 53106) seen at Wootton Wawen in the summer of 1990. Bob Belcher.
51852 at the head of set T403 (51852/59607/59499/53106 on this day) arrives at University station, Birmingham, on the 13.36 New St - Redditch on 10/4/93. Leonard Rogers.
