Nuneaton 20 April 1980. Despite having "Special" as a destination, this three-car class 116 diesel set is heading to a fairly normal destination in the form of Coventry. The formation of set TS513 at this time was 50120/59013/50077, a formation it held from 1969 to 1983. Jeremy Chapter.
The non-too common sight of a Tyseley allocated Derby built Class 116 Suburban three-car DMU (M53120, M59442 & M53077) at Bamber Bridge with a Colne to Preston service on August 3rd 1985. With its Tyseley Depot board in the cab window (TS513), it would appear that the unit had been temporarily allocated to Newton Heath Depot to cover a shortage of DMU sets. Martyn Hilbert.
Longbridge station on 14 June 1986 has on the right 53120 leading away from the station on the Cross City Line to Lichfield City. The Class 121 DTS in use as a centre car is presumably 54284, the Class 116 DMBS on the rear should be 53077, these forming set TS513. A sister unit is in the down platform with a train for Redditch, the other end of the line. Peter Tandy.
Class 116 set TS513 enters Birmingham New Street on 23 April 1987. DMS M53120 leads. Steve Jones.
Class 116/115/116 set T513 (presumably 53120 + 59650 + 53077) runs past Stratford-upon-Avon East signalbox on 7 September 1987. The train was working the 14.10 to the terminus from Birmingham Moor Street. Peter Tandy.
This picture was taken on 29 June 1988 when I was scoping out a few locations for shots of steam workings on a weekend of intensive specials between Tyseley and Stratford-upon-Avon. The train is a Birmingham Moor Street to Stratford formed of class 116 TS513 (presumably 53120 + 59650 + 53077 - although their withdrawal pre-date the image!). Henley station can just be made out in the background and it appears that the leading cab of the unit has taken a bit of a clout in the recent past. Peter Tandy.
A class 116 on a Birmingham New Street to Kidderminster service passes Rood End Yard near Langley Green on 25/2/1986. A youngster is evident in the cab and probably on a treat with his dad!! Stephen Burdett.
This is a shot of the usual 3 coach class 116 forming a Birmingham New Street to Kidderminster service approaching Stourbridge Junction on 8 March 1986. The set number is TS514 presumably formed 53870 + 59629 + 53923. Also of interest is 25 205 in the sidings which would have been on standby duties should a northbound freight have needed banking assistance on the now-closed line through Dudley towards Bescot. There must have been such a train expected on this Saturday morning because there certainly wasn't a locomotive stabled here every week, at least on the weekends that I visited. Peter Tandy.
Two DMU sets depart from Smethwick West on 9 April 1977. Furthest is a refurbished Class 101, closest is a Class 116 which is displaying set number TS515 on a temporary board in the cab window, the characters being chalked on. Michael Mensing.
A Class 116 and Class 101 arrives into Kidderminster station after changing platforms to form the 12:03 to Lichfield City on 9 April 1977. Closest is DMBS M50050, the Met-Camm three-car set has the DMBS and centre car in refurbished livery, the DMC is still in plain blue. Michael Mensing.
Displaying 'Excursion' on the destination blind, Class 116 set TS515 is seen at Castle Bromwich in July 1977. Michael Mensing.
The 15.40 ex-Peterborough DMU is arriving at Leicester to form the 17.22 to Birmingham New Street on 25 August 1977. The set number reads TS515, so the DMBS leading is presumably M50050. Kevin Lane.
Refurbished Class 116 set TS515 (presumably 51143 + 59015 + 50050) is seen on the Abbey St spur at Nuneaton Trent Valley in 1979. Michael Mensing.
Redditch station on 13 July 1979. Two young women examine the timetable and wonder if they need to catch the 18.41 to Four Oaks. This sits in the platform formed of Tyseley-based Class 116 unit TS515 and the vehicle visible is presumably 50050. Lewis Bevan.
Displaying Burton on Trent on the destination blind, Tyseley Class 116 set TS515 is seen in Yatton station during 1982. M50050 is closest, presumably with 59015 + 51143. Michael Mensing.
Tyseley Class 116 set TS515 is seen in Weston-super-Mare station during 1982. M50050 is closest, presumably with 59015 + 51143. Burton on Trent is displayed on the destination blind. Michael Mensing.
M53067 at Five Ways, Birmingham on 07/07/84. Steve Jones.
In late 1976 Tyseley Class 116 DMU set TS516 (presumably 50110 + 59016 + 50074) is seen at Tyseley, another set is in the distance. Michael Mensing.
Refurbished Class 116 set TS516 (presumably 50074 + 59016 + 50110) with another set at Small Heath Bridge in August 1978. Michael Mensing.
A line up of suburban DMUs in Tyseley depot on 14 February 1982. They are probably all Class 116s, closest is set TS516. Brian Daniels.
