Tyseley Class 116 DMU set TS702 (53867 + 59372 + 53920) departs Stratford-upon-Avon with a Birmingham service on 8 June 1986. Keith Miller.
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.
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.
The last surviving all blue class 116 set, T702, formed of 53867, 59372 and 53920 looked a bit scruffy when I photographed it on a Four Oaks service leaving Longbridge on 4 October 1986 with the long-gone British Leyland Motor Works in the background. Peter Tandy.
53867 at Wolverhampton on 18/04/87, almost certainly forming a Shrewsbury line service, presumably with 59372 + 53920. Steve Jones.

Saturday 18 October 1975, Barnstaple Junction. This 3-car Derby suburban dmu set P357 isn't all it seems, as the middle trailer is from a Metro-Cammell unit. Car numbers are W50868, W59538 and W50918. Mr Deltic.
