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.

Two of Tyseley's four-car suburban DMU sets in Skegness station circa mid-1988. Closest is set T403 (presumably 53106 (Class 116 DMS) + 59616 (Class 127 TSL) + 59641 (Class 127 TS) + 51852 (Class 115 DMBS) with set T411 on the rear. Brian Ward.
Network South East’s “Network Day” on 16th April 1988 turned out to be dull and damp but armed with a ticket giving me the freedom of the network, I headed for Kent. A surprise sight at Ramsgate was this 4 car Tyseley DMU. No idea where it came from, it doesn’t feature on Six Bells Junction. Must have been a relief for passengers to alight here on what must have been a long journey (wonder what route it took) from the Midlands. Set T403 was a bit of a hybrid, the front car here is class 116 53106, the centre cars were class 127 vehicles displaced from Cricklewood by the Bed-Pan electrification, and the rear car was class 115 51852. A real mystery… Murray Liston.
