Allocations

The London Midland Region didn't publish trailer car details until late in 1968. Although not 100% reliable, if it is assumed that the trailers remained with the same power cars, the allocations for 51613 during the unknown period are:

29/08/59 New to Chaddesden - pending allocation
3w/e 26/09/59 Transferred to 14A (Cricklewood)
5w/e 02/01/60 Stored Chaddesden
4w/e 30/01/60 Transfer 14A (Cricklewood)

Then the allocations for 59600 are:

17/07/83 Transferred to TS (Tyseley)
04/10/93 Transferred to HQ (Headquarters) RFXX
15/10/93 Withdrawn from HQ (Headquarters) RFXX

The vehicle is mentioned in the following images:

DMU

Date: Autumn 1985

Set number: TS607

Tyseley Class 116/127 hybrid DMU set TS607 set (presumably 53862 + 59600 + 53872) stabled on the old traverser road at Birmingham Moor Street, Autumn 1985. On Tour With the Class 13 Army.

DMU

Date: 26th July 1991

Set number: T409

The often-smokey atmosphere of Birmingham New Street is shown to good effect in this rather gloomy shot, with Tyseley's hybrid 4-car suburban set T409 formed class 116 DMS 53894 (nearest) with out of sight 59367 (class 116 TC), 59600 (class 127 TSL) & 51860 (class 115 DMBS) adding it's contribution on 26/Jul/1991. Many of the Tyseley suburban sets contained class 127 centre trailers which were gangwayed, refurbished and painted blue/grey for the first time in their lives when the St.Pancras - Bedford line was electrified. This saw the class 127 power cars withdrawn, with some being converted for parcels use, and the trailers sent north to the West Midlands for another 10 years' use and becoming the longest-lived class 127 vehicles other than those which were preserved. Robert Chilton.

DMU

Date: November 1991

Set number: T409

Last days of dmus on the Cross City line. A November 1991 view of unit T409 (presumably 51860 59600 59367 53894) leaving Sutton Coldfield on a Four Oaks to Longbridge service. Services were electrified Feb 1992. This was the scene of an accident when a York - Bristol train derailed at speed killing 14, on 23/1/1955. Stephen Burdett.

DMU

Date: 18th February 1993

Set number: T321

A hybrid DMU set, with cars 51859/59600/51144, at Coventry on a service to Stoke on 18 February 1993. I think this train was routed via Bedworth to Nuneaton and then via the WCML to its destination. It carries a set number of T321 (Tyseley). Lewis Bevan.

DMU

Date: 10th April 1993

51859 at the rear of an e.c.s. working disappearing into the tunnel at the east end of New St at 16.48 on 10/4/93. The train comprised two 3-car sets : 51138/59600/51144 plus 53124/59713/51859. Leonard Rogers.
