Class 116 DMU at Finwood

×

Details

Class 150s worked most of the local services between Birmingham and Leamington Spa in 1993 so it was a bit of a surprise to see a 5 car DMMU coming around the bend at Finwood (the location sometimes called Rowington or Lowsonford although both villages are a few miles away) on the afternoon of Saturday 25 September 1993. The leading unit has a 116 at the front and the class 117 trailing is 117210 (51415 + 51373). This was a popular spot at the time as there were 3 southbound intermodals in quick succession including a Leeds to Southampton usually powered by a pair of class 37s along with the chance of a northbound MGR from Didcot Power Station.
