A Class 116 DMU at University, Birmingham on 07/07/84. Partly obscured, the set number TSx04 and the corner damage suggest this is set TS504 and 53059, the 127 centre car is probably 59610. Steve Jones.

M59005 is the centre car in this refurbished Class 116 set arriving at Wood End on September 4th, 1976, with the 2.10pm Birmingham (Moor St) - Stratford-upon-Avon. The power car appears to be M50094 which would make it set TS505, refurbished in June 1976. Michael Mensing.
M50065 leads refurbished set TS505 when seen at St Andrews in mid-1977. Michael Mensing.

This class 116 at Stourbridge Junction is TS506 (presumably 53840 + 59612 + 53100), making the journey from Birmingham New Street to Kidderminster on 8 March 1986. Despite the frequency of passenger trains on this route and the relatively large number of trains from the Bescot to Stourbridge freight line, the Down Goods Loop wouldn't have seen a huge amount of use. This was because anything from the fright line needing to have been held would simply have waited at Stourbridge North Junction. Freights from the Old Hill line, although fewer in number, may well have been turned inside here although the coating of rust on the rails suggests that this wasn't a daily occurrence. I also think than ECS workings, especially when the single coach set used on the Stourbridge Town shuttles was swapped for fuelling and maintenance at Tyseley, would have been routed along the loop to await a path across the main lines to the sidings. Peter Tandy.
M50099 leads set Class 116 set TS507 (presumably with 59007 + 50069) at Sutton Coldfield in Autumn 1976, with a Swindon Cross Country set on the rear. Michael Mensing.
A recently refurbished Derby class 116 unit at Swindon 19/8/78, containing 50099 + 59007 + 50069 which formed set TS507. Sparegang.
My note says "Last train of the day at Redditch". Taken on September 14, 1978, the timetable was similar to that three years earlier, this makes it the 18.35 to Birmingham, the fourth and final train of the day. Set TS507, presumably 50069 + 59007 + 50099. Jeremy Chapter.
Tyseley DMU set TS507 Class 116 catches the setting sun approaching Bescot station. Presumably 50099 + 59007 + 50069. Ian Charles.

Set TS508 at Birmingham New Street on May 8, 1980, M50904 is closest. Steve Jones.
In refurbished white with blue stripe livery, a Derby built Class 116 three-car DMU with Driving Motor Brake Second (DMBS) M50851 leading (TS508 presumably also contains 59376 + 50904), was passing over Barnt Green Junction as it diverged from the former Midland Railway Birmingham to Bristol main line with a Four Oaks to Redditch service on September 5th 1981. The short Redditch branch is 4.73 Miles in length from its junction at Barnt Green. Martyn Hilbert.
