20th March 1987
Now here's a combination i don't think I ever saw again...! Approaching Twyford on the down relief on 20th March 1987 is an ECS working formed of a Derby built Class 116, with a Class 127 Trailer, and a GRCW built Class 119. The train was running from Paddington - Reading where it was split, with the Tyseley interloper returning home as the 1140 Reading - Birmingham New St service. Unfortunately i only got the formation of the leading unit, which was, 53053 + 59614 + 51146. M53053 was delivered new to TY in May 1957 as W50053, with its original partners W59003 + W50095. It remained allocated to the West Midland's depot for all of its working life and was finally withdrawn after a career lasting 28 years on 27th May 1995. It was to be scrapped by MC Metals at Springburn. Nigel Mack.

It is believed a new class 155 was booked for these workings but they were having serious problems after going into service. Dave Gommersall.

The train is passing the large Abercwmboi Phuracite plant which is happily pumping smoke into the atmosphere. The plant has 2 ex-BR 08 shunters at work in the yard and a mix of different coal wagons can be seen in the background. Geoff Dowling.
4th March 1990
Set: T324
Class 116 DMBS 53053 leading set T324, with 59672 and 53101 on the Lickey Incline near Bromsgrove on 4/Mar/1990. The centre trailer is a class 115 TCL. The leading vehicle still retains it's top marker light - originally the earliest batches of class 116s had four marker lights, one above the destination box and three across the cab front. Later the lower centre marker light was removed leaving just the two standard marker lights on the cab front; in most cases the top light was removed at the same time. Robert Chilton.

An interesting formation (116 DMBS, 116 DMS, 116 DMS, 115 DMBS (smaller brake compartment) and 116 DMS), seen at Small Heath, Birmingham, emitting a great plume of smoke as it passes. The destination blind reads Longbridge, but this is an ECS move (no passengers are visible) from Tyseley depot to Birmingham New Street to work on the Cross-City Line. The leading car is M53053, and set T333, which dates it around late 1993. Graeme Phillips Collection.

Set: T036
Strong backlighting and a misty morning don't make for great photographic conditions.

The bracket signal was notable for having quite short arms for the 3 aspects and had been converted from lower to upper quadrant at some point. The arm on the right had side gave access to a bay in the down platform area. Peter Tandy.
