DMU

Date: 13th May 1989

Set number: T416

Heading south with our head out of the window of Tyseley allocated dmu T416, (presumably taken from 59609 with 59648 adjoining) as it returns to the Midlands we pass the newly lengthened platforms 13 & 14 at Manchester Piccadilly, with the now empty signal box in the shot on the right. 13th May 1989. Andrew J Crowther.

DMU

Date: 13th May 1989

Set number: T416

Heading south with our head out of the window of Tyseley allocated dmu T416 on 13th May 1989 (presumably on board 59609 with 59648 adjoining), as we cross onto the newly opened 'Windsor Link' line in Salford, that came into full use with the May timetable change that month. Andrew J Crowther.

DMU

Date: 13th May 1989

Set number: T416

Tyseley allocated dmu set T416 made up of M51876 (class 115), M59648, M59609, (class 127s), M53891 (class 116) pulls out of Ravenglass bound for Sellafield, having worked up from the Midlands via Stockport. Andrew J Crowther.

DMU

Date: 26th August 1991

Set number: T416

Barnt Green station is at the junction where the Redditch branch leaves the Birmingham to Gloucester main line. On 26 August 1991 Tyseley set T416 was formed of 53891 + 59609 + 59648 + 51876 from classes 116, 127 and 115 as it joined the branch with a Cross City service from Four Oaks. This formation was the usual for Tyseley's four-car sets at the time but class 150s were not far off mass introduction so scenes like this were well worth recording and in 2021 OHLE masts have changed everything with electric units working both the branch and Bromsgrove terminating trains. Peter Tandy.
