Class 116 Derby suburban 3-car DMU set TS625 {presumably 53106 + 59616 + 53056) in Birmingham Moor Street late Feburary 1987. On Tour With The Class 13 Army.

3rd April 1987
53106
Friday 03/04/1987, 1520 hours at Whitchurch (Shropshire). Set TS625 has just arrived with the 1450 service from Shrewsbury which terminates at Whitchurch. The driver enters 53106 before commencing a reversing move to transfer the set to the Shrewsbury bound platform. The set will then work the 1525 service to Shrewsbury and Wolverhampton. Note that the date shown on the cab board is wrong - this photo was taken on 03/04/1987! In 1987 this was the only service on the Shrewsbury to Crewe line to terminate and reverse at Whitchurch. The crossover which allowed this reversal was removed many years ago so it is no longer possible. Robert Hope.

7th June 1986
53867
Tyseley's class 116 unit T702 (53867 and presumably 59372 + 53920) stands in platform 3 at Stratford-upon-Avon on 7 June 1986 with the 08.30 to Birmingham Moor Street and before the driver had returned to the cab after shunting the train from platform 1 and changed the lights to white. At this time several DMUs were stabled overnight in the platforms here as the station office was a crew signing-on point with its own allocation of drivers and guards. A class 121 single car unit is just visible behind T702 waiting to shunt into platform 1 and work Leamington Spa trains. In the winter the units were left with their engines idling all night, possibly because they wouldn't have started on a frosty morning, and a cloud of dense stinking diesel exhaust often hung over the station area. Peter Tandy.

1st July 1986
53867
In 1986 I lived within sight of the railway line at Stratford-upon-Avon and from my kitchen window on 1 July 1986 saw the last all-blue class 116 (set TS702, presumably 53867 + 59372 + 53920) arrive from Birmingham Moor Street to form the 08.00 departure back to the West Midlands. I grabbed a camera and asked the signaller, a good friend, if I might take a shot from his window as the unit crossed the Stratford-upon-Avon canal alongside a good show of elderflower on the embankment. A class 121 single unit had fortunately for me just gone towards the station with an arrival to leave a few minutes later as the 08.12 to Leamington Spa. I didn't have time to wait for this to leave as it was time to head off to work in town. Peter Tandy.
1st July 1986
53867
After work on 1 July 1986 I kept an eye open for T702, the last all-blue class 116 DMU, to appear again at Stratford-upon-Avon. The diagrams weren't straightforward for any particular unit and involved trips over several different routes. This unit had clearly switched to the Leamington Spa line as it arrived at Stratford ready to form the 18.35 service back to that town. I had a word with the signalman on the 2nd shift and established that he was happy for me to take a lineside shot as the train left the station. The signal in the foreground is the lower quadrant controlling the exit from the Cold Store Siding by then used only for the overnight stabling of stock (and failed units awaiting rescue). TS702 is presumably formed 53867 + 59372 + 53920. Peter Tandy.
