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.

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.

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.

Commuters, Yardley Wood station, 12/12/1981. Then, as now, Yardley Wood station is a busy local station on the Stratford - Birmingham Line. The 09.19 Stratford - Birmingham Moor Street is being worked by a Derby Class 116 containing DMBS 53072, it partners are presumably TS509 regulars 50105 + 59009. Geoff Dowling.

A wintry 1979 view of the staggered platform at Cradley Heath previously known as Cradley Heath & Cradley with a 6 car 116 dmu preparing for the climb to Old Hill with a service from Kidderminster to Birmingham New Street. A Saturday afternoon working perhaps strengthened to cope with football fans for Birmingham City. All the buildings on the left bar one (Dunns Photographic) have been swept away and the up platform re-sited behind the photographer. Set TS510 is closest, presumably 50067 + 59010 + 50093.
