A Class 116/101/116 DMU (53890 + 59054 + 53101) at Tyseley on 7 June 1986. Keith Miller.
Showing the flexibility of this era of DMUs is Tyseley set T354 two Class 116 DMSs are working with a Class 101 TBSL (presumably 53890 + 59054 + 53910). The train was photographed at Longbridge 25 April 1987 while it was working a Worcester to Birmingham New Street via Bromsgrove service. Peter Tandy.
In 1990 Tyseley based class 116 dmu T320 is seen at Crewe forming a train for Llandudno. At that time this unit was formed of 53890, 59720 and 51138 - 53890 is nearest the camera. The centre trailer 59720 is a class 115 vehicle fomerly part of an Allerton based four car unit and was built as a TCL, but subsequent declassified. 53890 was Cardiff based until 1966 when it moved to Birmingham. 51138 came to Tyseley from the Western Region in 1976 - probably for the enhancement of the Cross City service Tony Walmsley.
Class 116/117 Set T320 53890 + 59512 + 51138 on this service from Liverpool having changed ends at Sheffield and Ely now heads north of Ely towards Norwich just after ten to six in the evening on 24th April 1990. Nicholas Youngman.
T320 53890 + 59512 + 51138 makes a very rare appearance covering for a 156 on 1L65 10:20 Liverpool Lime St to Ipswich at New Mills South Junction, 24-4-90. Kevin Dowd.
T320 (53890 + 59720 + 51138) arrives at Blake St. with the 12:04 Lichfield City - Longbridge, 23rd February 1991. Gazza Prescott.

Class 116 DMS 53891 on the end of hybrid set T416 in Birmingham Moor Street, date unknown. Mike Bunker.
On Sunday 28th May 1989 the overhead power lines were switched off for maintenance etc, therefore the first few up locals from Birmingham / Rugby and Northampton were DMUs. My train to work that Sunday morning was a 4-car DMU Set from Tyseley depot, seen here in the Up Main Platform at Watford Junction, no doubt the Up Slow Line was also out for track maintenance! The back coach as seen here is a Class 116 53891 departing Watford Junction for Euston. AndrewHA.
Barnt Green station is at the junction where the Redditch branch leaves the Birmingham to Gloucester main line. On 26 August 1991 Tyseley set T416 was formed of 53891 + 59609 + 59648 + 51876 from classes 116, 127 and 115 as it joined the branch with a Cross City service from Four Oaks. This formation was the usual for Tyseley's four-car sets at the time but class 150s were not far off mass introduction so scenes like this were well worth recording and in 2021 OHLE masts have changed everything with electric units working both the branch and Bromsgrove terminating trains. Peter Tandy.
DMU set T326 - presumably Class 116 DMS 53891 + Class 127 TSL 59609 + Class 116 DMBS 51131 - arriving Bournville for Birmingham New Street 1-12-92. On Tour With the Class 13 Army.
Class 116/127 combination T326 (presumably 53891 + 59609 + 51131) is seen forming a Lincoln service at Nottingham in May 1993. Note the first two vehicles are missing their numbers (possibly due to dust removal software). Andrew Walker.
Following an overnight snowfall, various DMU's were stabled at Hamilton Depot on March 23rd 1980. The nearest car is Class 116 Driving Motor Second, SC50892. Martyn Hilbert.
In 1985 Class 116 DMU sets 116 392 + 116 388 wait to leave Largs with 2T20 the 10.52 to Glasgow Central. This once four platform station had by this date already been reduced to 2 and the DMU's were replaced by class 318 EMU's with electrification in 1986. Adrian Nicholls.
Class 116 53892, set number 116 392, is seen at Tyseley on 07.03.1987 after transfer from Scotland. Andy Cole.
Class 116 vehicles, M50893 closest at the north end of Cricklewood depot, date unknown. It was allocated there from 1968 - 1983. Walter Burt.
Class 116 DMUs in Birmingham Moor Street station on 20 July 1983. On the right is set TS562 (presumably 53893 + 59634 + 53075) and on the left TS534 (presumably 53886 + 59342 + 53053). Brian Daniels.
No room in the bays. This was the scene one Saturday morning in April 1985 with every bay road on the down side at Leamington Spa occupied. The train on the left has a window board reading T619 but it appears to be a single unit as was the practice at the time, preparing to head off to Stratford-upon-Avon within the next few minutes. Next in line is 58 016 which was also getting ready to move out onto the main line. This was a weekly occurrence at the time and I seem to recall that the locomotive involved may have taken over a northbound freightliner with the other engine coming off the train but I didn't make any notes and can't remember exactly what happened. To the right of 58 016 is T623, probably formed of 53893 + 59603 + 53838, and then a second class 116 with no set number visible. The latter 2 units were stabled ready to work trains to Birmingham Moor Street later in the day. Peter Tandy.
53893 at Doncaster Works, circa late '80s - 1990. It is sitting on accommodation bogies, missing its doors, and seems to be undergoing repairs to the drivers side of the cab. Ross Aitken.
Brand new Derby suburban motor second W50894, it seems to be at Swindon Works, date unknown. Its first allocation was Cardiff Cathays in January 1958. Stuart Mackay Collection.
