Set: TS611
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.
31st August 1985
Set: TS611
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
Set: TS611
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.

3rd July 1986
Set: TS611
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
Set: TS611
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.

Set: T412

The formation was a mixture of class 116, 127 and 115 which was normal for most of the four-car sets at Tyseley at the time. Robert Chilton.

2nd May 1993
Set: T412
Run in conjunction with Worcester Rail Day, 20066/20138 were photographed at Hereford on 2 May 1993 on one of a series of "mini-tours" which used DMU sets T404 + T412 as the hauled stock. They had set off from Birmingham New St, and, after visiting the Open Day at Worcester, tour participants had a choice from a return trip to Gloucester, then two return trips to Hereford, before the return to Birmingham. Lewis Bevan.
22nd July 1993
Class 116 DMS 53116 is seen at Derby when operating as a three car driving motor set on 22.07.1993. Tyseley were just banging any available working cars together at this point to make up scratch sets. Andy Cole.

17th September 1994
Set: 117332
By September 1994 any diesel-mechanical unit from the first generation classes were quite unusual on the main line so I was to take a good sunny shot of Tyseley's 117332 passing Catholme, near Wychnor Junction, on the 17th of that month. The depot was really scratching about for serviceable units by this time and the vehicles are believed to be 53116 attached to 53055 + 51144 (all 116s despite the set number). This was an ECS move which was probably on its way to Tyseley from Derby after some attention not possible at the Birmingham facility. Peter Tandy.
26th December 1994
Set: 117332
Class 116 DMS 53116, set number 117332, is seen near the end of first generation use at Tyseley on 26.12.1994. At this time Tyseley were just banging any serviceable DMU's together to make scratch sets. Andy Cole.
