Tyseley Class 116 set TY535 (presumably 50913 + 59438 + 50860) at Hall Green on May 22, 1976. Michael Mensing.
Two Class 116 sets at Four Oaks station on a Lichfield City service in the summer of 1977. Closest is set TY535 formed 50913 + 59438 and presumably 50860. Michael Mensing.

Refurbished Class 116 set TY535 (50913 leads, presumably with 59438 + 50860) south of Selly Oak in the spring of 1979. Michael Mensing.
M53913 is the closest vehicle in set TS511 seen at Warwick on July 10, 1987. Malcolm Clements.
Class 116 set TY535 (presumably 50860 + 59438 + 50913) stopping at Tyseley on April 28, 1969. Despite what the destination blind shows this is the 5.25pm service to Shirley. Stuart Mackay Collection.
Class 116 sets TY535 (50860 at the front, presumably with 59438 + 50913) and TY531 arriving at Cradley Heath station in February 1975. Michael Mensing.
Class 116 sets TY531 and TY535 (50860 at the far end, presumably with 59438 + 50913) in the staggered platforms of Cradley Heath station in February 1975. Michael Mensing.
Class 116 DMU set TY535 (presumably 50860 + 59438 + 50913) seen south of Blake Street in mid-1976. Michael Mensing.
A nine-car Class 116 formation leaves Tyseley with the 8.44am Birmingham Moor St - Leamington Spa service on August 23, 1978. Set TY535 is closest, presumably 50860 + 59438 + 50913. Michael Mensing.
A bit of paint makes all the difference when applied to a class 116 DMU; the ubiquitous type of unit in the West Midlands in 1987. On 11 July of that year T511 with 53832 + 59649 + 53913 was approaching Bearley Junction when I photographed it working a Leamington Spa to Stratford-upon-Avon train. Peter Tandy.
At Birmingham Moor Street 1987 on 24/9/87, 2 days before the closure of the terminal platforms, a class 116 DMU awaits departure with a Leamington Spa service. It carries set number TS511 in the window, by this date it would probably be known as set T511, presumably with 53832 closest with 59649 + 53913. Stephen Burdett.
