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.

DMU

Date: 16th April 1988

Set number: T403

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.
