The vehicle is mentioned in the following images:

DMU

Date: circa May 1979

A Class 127 formed of 51614 + 59629 + 59603 + 51612 at Cricklewood. The slide process date was May 1979. Stuart Mackay Collection.

DMU

Date: 30th May 1983

Class 127 Derby 4-car DMU 51600 + 59593 + 59629 + 51599 awaits departure from Bedford Midland with the 13-04 to St Pancras, 30-5-83. On Tour With the Class 13 Army.

DMU

Date: 9th June 1985

A suburban DMU formed of 53053 + 59629 + 53886 (116/127/116) at Bearley Junction on 9 June 1985. Keith Miller.

DMU

Date: 8th March 1986

Set number: TS514

This is a shot of the usual 3 coach class 116 forming a Birmingham New Street to Kidderminster service approaching Stourbridge Junction on 8 March 1986. The set number is TS514 presumably formed 53870 + 59629 + 53923. Also of interest is 25 205 in the sidings which would have been on standby duties should a northbound freight have needed banking assistance on the now-closed line through Dudley towards Bescot. There must have been such a train expected on this Saturday morning because there certainly wasn't a locomotive stabled here every week, at least on the weekends that I visited.
