Details

Still carrying its Western Region W prefix to its number, Class 116 Suburban Driving Motor Brake Second (DMBS) W53087 was passing Bamber Bridge with a Preston to Clitheroe special working on October 24th 1987 with W59037 and W53129. Through the offside cab window, someone with a Mayorial chain can be seen sitting in the front saloon behind the cab.

The unit had previously been allocated to Cardiff Canton and had been transferred to Newton Heath in September 1987, at a time when there was much flux in the surviving members of the first generation DMU fleet to provide cover for errant class 142's, the better examples appearing in parts of the country that they had never previously worked, the situation being eased as the new BREL York Class 150/2 Sprinter fleet came into service.
