DMU set T417 (53897, 59335, 59603 and 51892) arriving at Birmingham New Street station on 30 June 1990. Keith Miller.
07:35 Coventry to Skegness passing Heckington on 6th June 1992, presumably with 53897 at the front. Nick Slocombe.
This shot of T419 (presumably 51151 closest) is one of those so ordinary that at the time it hardly seemed worth taking and if it hadn't been for the HST in the background disappearing to the north the shutter release probably wouldn't have been pressed. Since my picture was taken on 9 September 1990 the semaphores have gone to be replaced with colour lights and the route has been electrified with 25kv overhead catenary. Peter Tandy.
At Nottingham on September 17th, 1988, T420 (53092 + 59607 + 59032 + 51892) and T301 (51353 + 59505 + 51395) form the 08:00 Nuneaton - Skegness service. Hamish Stevenson.
T420 (53092 + 59607 + 59032 + 51892) - a Class 115/127/116/115 hybrid - departs from Skegness with the 12:06 Skegness to Nuneaton on September 17th, 1988. Hamish Stevenson.
Class 116 53092, set number T420, is seen stabled at Tyseley on 01.04.1989, complete with WMPTE logo. Andy Cole.

A hybrid DMU (with a Class 116 vehicle closest, presumably 53878) at Gravelly Hill on 11 February 1989. A unit on a Birmingham Cross-City working draws out of the platform for Lichfield City. Alistair Ness.
Hybrid 4-car DMU set T421 with Class 116 DMS 53878 leading entering the new platforms at Birmingham Moor Street 15-3-89. T421 at this time may have been 53878 + 59741 + 59612 + 51897, Class 116+115+127+115, DMS+TS+TSL+DMBS. On Tour With The Class 13 Army.

Class 116 M53897 is the rear vehicle of a 6-car set departing from Skegness on the 2nd July 1988, presumably with 59335 + 59608 + 51898. Kevin Law.
Set T422 (presumably 53897 closest) on a 11XX Skegness - Nuneaton pass 31 466 & 31 458 near Boston on Saturday 20th August 1988. Colin Brooks.
T424 (53055 + 59603) with 118s 51314 + 51329 at Longbridge on an ECS to form the 16:54 to Lichfield City, 9/9/93. Gazza Prescott.
Most of the suburban passenger trains on the Birmingham Cross City Line were class 116 units but odds and ends turned up from time to time. On this occasion a BR blue centre coach (Class 127 TS 59631), probably one of the few remaining at this time in 1986, made a contrast with the standard blue and grey colour scheme (of presumably 53076 + 53118). I took this slide at Longbridge where most of the trains from either Lichfield or Four Oaks terminated and then crossed over and reversed for the return journey. The British Leyland car factory dominated the background. Following the collapse of BL the whole site was closed and is now a retail park while the railway infrastructure has changed with the advent of OHL electrification going to Redditch and Bromsgrove. Peter Tandy.
In 1986 the line from Smethwick West to Rowley Regis was still controlled by semaphore signals. This picture taken at Langley Green on 1 March 1986 shows Tyseley class 116 T524 passing the platform-based signal box and lower quadrant bracket signal as it towards Birmingham New Street from Kidderminster. The low speed arm of the signal controlled access to Rood Ends Goods Yard which served several industrial sites with daily trips from Bescot. Peter Tandy.
53876 Class 116, set number T533, is at Tyseley on 28.03.1987, has just been transferred down from Scotland and still carries the Trans Clyde branding as well as Greater Glasgow symbols. Centre car is presumably 59354. Andy Cole.
Trans-Clyde DMU at Droitwich Spa. Former Scottish set 116388 (53876 + 59354 + 53823) is now Tyseley set T533, seen on 11/4/87, transferred a few weeks before. Stuart Mackay Collection.
