1976

Class 116 DMU set TS545 with M50921 closest seen at Lichfield City in the summer of 1976. Michael Mensing.

June 1978

Class 116 set TS545 (presumably 50819 + 59346 + 50915, the power cars converted back to passenger use after being in parcel service on the Western Region) seen at Washwood Heath in June 1978. Michael Mensing.

Unknown date

Tyseley Class 116 set TS545, led by DMBS M50819 (and presumably with 59346 + 50915) is seen heading for Kidderminster in Refurbished Livery of white with blue band, late 1970s / early 1980s. At the time BR ran some through services over the SVR from New Street on bank holidays. Graeme Phillips Collection.

8th March 1986

A few miles to the south-west of Langley Green is the station at Rowley Regis. By the time this photograph was taken on 8 March 1986, freight traffic to the various industrial termini hereabouts had finished, but the trackwork and and signalling were still pretty much intact. This picture shows the inevitable class 116 DMU (TS545, presumably 50915 + 59346 + 50819) on a Birmingham New Street to Stourbridge Junction stopping train approaching the station. Peter Tandy.
