Class 116 DMU at between Solihull and Lapworth

September 1984

Set number: TS537

In the days when it was possible to sit at the front of a diesel multiple unit and (assuming that the driver had not lowered the blind) it was possible to enjoy a "driver's eye" view of the track ahead. On board a class 116 unit as a similar unit passes in the opposite direction on the section of route between Solihull and Lapworth that used to be four tracks. Taken in September 1984 from 51130 on a Leamington Spa service. Bob Belcher.

The vehicle is mentioned in the following images:

DMU

Date: September 1984

The rainbow provides a clue as to what is coming as a class 116 unit (believed to comprise vehicles 51143 + 59627 + 51130) leaves Warwick station for Leamington Spa on what until then had been a sunny evening in September 1984. Bob Belcher.

DMU

Date: 22nd March 1986

Set number: TS624

Newly painted class 116 set TS624 (presumably 51143 + 59615 + 51130) approaching Small Heath with a Birmingham Moor Street to Stratford-upon-Avon train on 22 March 1986. I never felt entirely comfortable in this location if no other photographers were present as there was a bit of a dodgy pub immediately to the left of the road bridge but on this occasion there wasn't an issue because 2 steam-hauled workings were working away from Birmingham... Peter Tandy.

DMU

Date: 20th October 1986

Birmingham Moor Street station on 20 October 1986. The Class 101 dmu on the left is formed of a four-car Class 101 unit 53336/59529/59120/53303 and I recorded it as the 15.10 to Stratford-upon-Avon, despite the destination board showing "Shirley". The Class 116 unit on the right is formed of 51130/59615/51143 (set TS624) and will be working the 14.55 to Leamington Spa. Lewis Bevan.
