Formation Sources

2: Robert Chilton
The 5.50pm Worcester Shrub Hill - Stratford-upon-Avon service is seen at Stoulton on 24 August 1963. DMS 50104 leads, the power cars are unlined but the centre car is, suggesting this may not be the regular formation for set 304? Michael Mensing.
A Derby suburban triple set at Solihull on 28 August 1964, with Knowle on the destination blind. The set number in the cab window could be 304, meaning DMS 50104 is closest. Michael Mensing.
Derby suburban set TY504 forms a Knowle & Dorridge service arriving into Small Heath station on April 30th, 1969. Leading is probably DMS 50104. Stuart Mackay Collection.
Class 116 DMU set TY504 (50104 and presumably 59004 + 50059) at Dorridge in May 1974. Michael Mensing.
In late 1974 M50104 leads set TY504 (presumably with 59004 + 50059) into Rowley Regis with a Kidderminster service. Michael Mensing.
Derby suburban triple set 304 seen at Widney Manor with a Leamington service in early August 1964. DMBS 50059 leads, presumably with 59004 + 50104. The set would become TY504 and then TS504, retaining the same vehicles until 1983 when Class 127 TSL 59610 replaced 59004 as a means of reducing the number of vehicles containing asbestos. Michael Mensing.
With the DMBS M50059 recently repainted, Class 116 set TY504 is seen stabled at Leicester in June 1972. The other vehicles are presumably 59004 + 50104. Mel Smith.
Two Class 116 DMU sets depart from Erdington on 15 September 1972. On the right set TY530 (50884 visible) is on the 18:10 Sutton Coldfield - Birmingham New Street, on the left set TY504 (presumably 50059 + 59004 + 50104) is working the 18:05 Birmingham - Lichfield. Michael Mensing.
Tyseley set TS504 seen at Sutton Coldfield in mid-1975. It is probably formed 50059 + 59004 + 50104. Michael Mensing.
Class 116 DMU set TS504 (presumably 50059 + 59004 + 50104) is seen with a Class 101 on the rear on Hatton Bank at 09:15 on Wednesday 11 February 1976. Stuart Mackay Collection.
Class 116 DMU set TS504 (presumably 50059 + 59004 + 50104) at Lye station in early April 1977 displaying Birmingham New Street on the destination blind. Michael Mensing.
Class 116 set TY504 (presumably 50059 + 59004 + 50104) at Hatton in the summer of 1978. Michael Mensing.
