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.
Seemingly borrowed from Tyseley Depot, a West Midlands Class 116 Suburban DMU, minus its centre trailer car was on the Preston to Ormskirk service on August 4th 1987. With car 53059 trailing, the interloper is passing Jubilee Mill at Croston whilst running from Ormskirk to Preston. The leading car, 53109 has the West Midlands PTE 'WM' logo behind the cab door. Martyn Hilbert.

Class 116 DMU set T325 (53060 + 59757 + 51142) at Kidderminster on 9 May 1987, taken from the platform as the unit prepared to stop while on its way to Birmingham New Street. The sidings on the left were still in use at the time but were subsequently lifted. Peter Tandy.
Last day at old Moor Street? Or was it? This class 116 unit (TS337, 53838 at the front presumably with 59751 + 53853) waits to depart for Leamington Spa from the old terminal platforms at Birmingham Moor Street on 26/9/1987 which was supposed to be their last day of use. The platform shown is still not in use but 23 years on the other 2 were reopened. Stephen Burdett.

Showing the flexibility of this era of DMUs is Tyseley set T354 two Class 116 DMSs are working with a Class 101 TBSL (presumably 53890 + 59054 + 53910).

Class 116 set TS357 (presumably M53895 + M59527 + M53842) - with a Met-Camm centre car - pass by at Stratford-upon-Avon in 1987. The passengers at the windows and people on the lineside ahead suggest there may be a(nother) train of interest about to pass. Graeme Phillips Collection.
Recently ex-works Tyseley Class 116 set TS500 (M50092 closest) seen in Birmingham Moor Street station on the 15th May 1976. Stephen Burdett.
Class 116 DMU set TS500 (presumably formed of 50061 + 59000 + 50092) leaves Hall Green with the 18:42pm Birmingham Moor Street - Shirley service on 22 May 1976. Michael Mensing.
Having terminated at Shirley with a service from Birmingham, Tyseley class 116 Diesel Multiple Unit (DMU) TS500 (presumably 50061 + 59000 + 50092) has pulled out of the station and after the driver changed ends, waits to cross over from the up to the down line and return as the 1829 to Birmingham Moor St on 2 September 1978. Chris Morrison.
Arriving at Shirley station on a fine evening is one of Tyseley's class 116 DMUs (set TS500, presumably 50092 + 59000 + 50061). It is working the 16.50 Stratford - Birmingham Moor Street. The train has recently been given the new livery of white with a blue stripe, this colour scheme looked very attractive when fresh but it did not stand up to day-to-day use and was soon phased out in favour of the 'coach' livery of blue and pale grey. Shirley today remains a pleasant station, the running in board has gone and so have the semaphore signals. 18/06/1979 Geoff Dowling.
One of Tyseley's Class 116 dmus (set TS500, 50061 and presumably 59000 + 50092) is heading for Longbridge on 24/02/1981. The train is about to pass under Raddlebarn Road bridge in Selly Oak, Birmingham. Geoff Dowling.
