Class 115 59650 is the centre car in this 3-car set seen at Warwick on 10/7/87, 53077 is on the left. Malcolm Clements.
The vehicle is mentioned in the following images:

Date: 10th July 1987

Class 116/115/116 set T513 (presumably 53120 + 59650 + 53077) runs past Stratford-upon-Avon East signalbox on 7 September 1987. The train was working the 14.10 to the terminus from Birmingham Moor Street. Peter Tandy.
Date: 29th June 1988
Set number: TS513
This picture was taken on 29 June 1988 when I was scoping out a few locations for shots of steam workings on a weekend of intensive specials between Tyseley and Stratford-upon-Avon. The train is a Birmingham Moor Street to Stratford formed of class 116 TS513 (presumably 53120 + 59650 + 53077 - although their withdrawal pre-date the image!). Henley station can just be made out in the background and it appears that the leading cab of the unit has taken a bit of a clout in the recent past. Peter Tandy.
