Derby built Class 116 high density set, ex Tyseley set T702 comprising of 53920, 59372, 53867 is seen in all over blue livery, at Manchester Victoria. These high density sets were certainly not common to Manchester and was probably drafted in to cover the Pacer shortage at the time before withdrawal, this was one of the last Class 116 sets to carry all over blue livery and was withdrawn in this livery. 17th October 1987. Andrew J Crowther.

A pair of two-car Derby Class 116 Suburban DMU's were making a rare appearance at Lostock Hall with a Preston to Colne service on July 11th 1987. The rear set complete with its West Midlands PTE branding was formed of cars M53833 & M54281 (TS251). This was during the period when problems with the almost new Class 142 fleet were manifesting themselves, and the pair of suburbans would have been a short-term loan out from Tyseley Depot to Newton Heath. Martyn Hilbert.

Transferred from Tyseley Depot in Birmingham, a Class 116 DMU (minus its centre trailer Car), formed of cars 53059 & 53109 was arriving at Croston with a Preston to Ormskirk service on August 4th 1987. The leading Driving Motor Brake Second (53059) still has its Tyseley Depot chalked ID board in the front window (TS291 11/7/87). Various first generation DMU sets that were still in operational condition, were drafted in to Newton Heath Depot during this period to cover for the then almost new and ailing Class 142 Pacer fleet. Martyn Hilbert.
Complete with Tyseley Depot Board in the cab window and minus its centre trailer coach, a Class 116 Suburban DMU with M53059 leading, makes an appearance on a Preston to Ormskirk service at Croston on the 4th August 1987. This was a time when there were unit shortages at Newton Heath Depot due to the unreliability of the recently introduced Class 142s. Judging by the date on the board it would appear the set was on short term loan from its West Midlands home. Martyn Hilbert.
