55991 at Leicester. Date unknown, the number on the cab front appeared circa autumn 1987. By the end of March 1988 the vehicle was at Vic Berry's for asbestos stripping, this is likely en-route there from the Western Region. After stripping it went to Doncaster Works and emerged in the Royal Mail red livery. Stuart Mackay Collection.

A 1960 built 3-car class 117 Pressed Steel Suburban unit, Tyseley allocated set T305 (W51410), is our transport from Leicester to Coalville for the open day that was taking place there on the 5th June 1988. In 1985 when allocated to Bristol this set B430 (W51410, W59520, W51368) was repainted into GWR colours as part of the GWR 150 celebrations. Andrew J Crowther.
The stripped out front half of Class 116 DMBS M53070 awaits it's fate in a very tidy Vic Berry's Scrapyard, Leicester on Sunday 5th June 1988. Formerly allocated to Tyseley MPD, Birmingham she had been withdrawn during March 1988 and looked like she wouldn't see the end of the week. Bob Woolnough.
2 stripped out Class 101 TCL vehicles are stacked in Vic Berry's yard in Leicester along with a withdrawn Mark 1 Sleeping Car on the 5th June 1988. In the foreground is Class 101 TCL SC59568 in blue / grey livery formerly of Eastfield TMD Glasgow, and latterly the centre vehicle in set 101338, while sitting on top of it is TCL SC59560 in Strathclyde orange / black livery formerly of Ayr MPD and latterly the centre vehicle in set 107440. The last three digits of the sets are visible on the bottom right of the vehicle ends. Bob Woolnough.
The end is nigh for ex Tyseley Class 116 DMBS M53077 as the front half of the body rests on the ground alongside an empty skip in Vic Berry's Yard, Leicester on Sunday 5th June 1988. The rear portion of DMBS M53077 is visible on the ground looking through the drivers window. The blue DMU coach on the left of the image, Class 104 DTCL M54177, is interesting as most publications have her scrapped in March 1988 whereas she obviously was still complete in June of that year. Bob Woolnough.
The rear half of ex Tyseley TMD Class 116 DMBS M53077 lies on the ground at Vic Berry's Yard, Leicester on Sunday 5th June 1988 unlikely to see another weekend as a line of withdrawn vehicles look on. The blue and grey coach to the left is a fellow Class 116, the next is a blue Class 104 and I think the one to the right is a Class 501 EMU vehicle. Finally half of an unknown Class 116 coach lies behind M53077. Bob Woolnough.
