Class 116 DMU at Birmingham New Street

26th July 1991

The often-smokey atmosphere of Birmingham New Street is shown to good effect in this rather gloomy shot, with Tyseley's hybrid 4-car suburban set T409 formed class 116 DMS 53894 (nearest) with out of sight 59367 (class 116 TC), 59600 (class 127 TSL) & 51860 (class 115 DMBS) adding it's contribution on 26/Jul/1991. Many of the Tyseley suburban sets contained class 127 centre trailers which were gangwayed, refurbished and painted blue/grey for the first time in their lives when the St.Pancras - Bedford line was electrified. This saw the class 127 power cars withdrawn, with some being converted for parcels use, and the trailers sent north to the West Midlands for another 10 years' use and becoming the longest-lived class 127 vehicles other than those which were preserved. Robert Chilton.

Class 115 DMU at Sutton Coldfield

November 1991

Last days of dmus on the Cross City line. A November 1991 view of unit T409 (presumably 51860 59600 59367 53894) leaving Sutton Coldfield on a Four Oaks to Longbridge service. Services were electrified Feb 1992. This was the scene of an accident when a York - Bristol train derailed at speed killing 14, on 23/1/1955. Stephen Burdett.
