TS609
29th August 1986
53894
An interesting train on the North Warwickshire line to Birmingham in 1986 was the daily train booked to start at 08.13 from Henley-in-Arden which had arrived earlier and was routed into the bay platform; the only service so to do. This gave the rare opportunity to photograph a unit in the otherwise unused platform 3 and to take a picture with the signal in the clear position. I should like to have had a picture of the DMU nearer the signal but wanted to catch it for the onward journey. The train, formed of the usual class 116 3 car set on this occasions TS609 (presumably 53894 + 59603 (a 127) + 53853), is seen here on 29 August 1986 with the guard returning to his van in order to give the right of way to the driver. Peter Tandy.
TS610
5th May 1984
53890
On the slightly delapidated platform at Alvechurch Station a few passengers wait for the 12.50 Four Oaks to Redditch train. That train is lead by 53890, one of Tyseley's faithful class 116 dmus. Just under the leading car is a foot crossing, this was to a field path, today that is reached by using the new overbridge to the second platform which has recently been built at this now twin track, electrified station. Geoff Dowling.
15th July 1984
53890
A lengthy class 116 dmu passes High Wycombe on 15 July 1984, returning empty to Tyseley. It is believed to have worked to Welshpool the previous day. Leading is set TS610, presumably 53890 + 59603 + 53837. Robert28194.
6th September 1985
53890
The 12.20 to Birmingham Moor Street awaits departure from Stratford-upon-Avon on 6 September 1985. It is formed of a Class 116/101/116 hybrid, M53890 is closest presumably with 59129 and 53837. Robert28194.
TS611
10th June 1985
53116
Class 116 set TS611 (53116 presumably with 59611 + 53055) with an afternoon Birmingham Moor St - Stratford Upon Avon service waiting time at Small Heath on Monday 10th June 1985. Colin Brooks.
1st August 1985
53055
A splash of red and a small extra amount of grey paint made all the difference to the appearance of Tyseley class 116 set TS611 (53055 + 59611 + 53116, with appropriate car numbers in two cases!) as it arrived at Stratford-upon-Avon from Birmingham Moor Street on 1 August 1985. The five coaches in the Down Goods Loop were brought in by 47 456 as a private charter using part of the SLOA Pullman stock. Peter Tandy.
31st August 1985
53116
Set TS611, headed by DMS 53116 (presumably with 59611 and 53055), all in an experimental WMPTE, (WM) livery, on the last few yards of its journey into Hereford, past the yard, with a passenger service from the Worcester direction. 31st August 1985. John Crooks.
7th September 1985
53116
On 7 September 1985, a derailment at Carnforth led to severe delays to trains between Scotland and England, resulting in this 6-car dmu formation running in the path of a the Glasgow / Dundee - Poole service between Birmingham and Reading. Seen at Oxford, closest is the distinct Class 116 set TS611 (53116/59611/53055). On the rear appears to be a 116/101/116 hybrid. On the right is a Class 121 bubble. Robert28194.
14th September 1985
53116
A pair of Tyseley Class 116s (led by 53116 with its non-standard front end livery) pass Malago Vale with a summer Saturday service from Weston-super-Mare to Birmingham New Street. 14 September 1985. Mike Dean.
26th December 1985
53116
Class 116 DMS 53116, set number T611, is seen in its distinctive livery at Tyseley on 26.12.1985. Andy Cole.
4th January 1986
53055
Class 116 DMBS 53055, set number TS611, is seen at Tyseley on 04.01.1986. It carries an unusual livery addition of an extended grey stripe past the cab windows and black window surrounds. Andy Cole.
24th February 1986
53055
Class 116 set TS611 53055 + 59611 + 53611 at Leamington Spa on 24/02/86. Roddy MacPhee.
1st June 1986
53055
TS611 (53055 presumably with 59611 + 53116) in it's unusual livery seen at Coalville depot on the 1st June 1986 when it was working shuttles to Leicester and Burton-on-Trent for the open day. Chris Lings.
14th June 1986
53055
In the summer of 1986 there was a dated train between Birmingham New Street and Barry Island. Two 3 car class 116s from Tyseley were used for this service and on 14 June 1986 the leading set (TS 611, 53055 + 59611 + 53116), pictured at Longbridge, was one of the sets with a slightly modified paint job on the front end. It's amazing what a difference a few brush strokes makes to the appearance of an otherwise standard unit. I suspect that the passenger accomodation for this long journey was a sight more comfortable in 1986 than would be provided in 2020 for an equivalent trip. Peter Tandy.
3rd July 1986
53116
One of my favourite morning shots at Stratford-upon-Avon was this taken with the bracket signal prominent in the picture. The DMU is Tyseley set 611 (53116/59611/53055) which stood out amongst the other becauses of a slightly different paint job on the front window surround and the West Midlands PTE logo on the yellow front end. The date was 3 July 1986 with the unit was arriving at Stratford-upon-Avon forming the 06.20 from Birmingham Moor Street. Peter Tandy.
12th July 1986
53116
The unusually liveried class 116 DMS 53116 at the head of set TS611 formed with class 127 TSL 59611 and class 116 DMBS 53055, at Birmingham New Street on 12/Jul/1986. I recall that 53055 at the other end of the set was painted to match and I wondered at the time whether on one or other driving car the livery was inspired by a mistake in the grey band being taken too far beyond the saloon windows and then taken complete with white lining round the cab ends to make the best of a bad job. Having said that, the black cab window surrounds and the fact that the sides of every car and the cab ends were emblazoned with 'WM' logos probably suggests that it was a deliberate attempt at a special livery. Robert Chilton.
19th September 1987
53055
Taken on 19/9/87 at Birmingham Moor Street, a week before closure of the terminal platforms, class 116 set TS611 (53055 and presumably 59611 + 53116) waits to leave for Dorridge. The platforms reopened in 2010 and the station is now the 2nd busiest in Birmingham and arguably the best!! Stephen Burdett.
