A Coalville - Leicester DMU shuttle led by T324 (presumably 53101 + 59672 + 53053), run in connection with Coalville Open Day, passes Bagworth and Ellistown. The track looks as if it has been affected by mining subsidence. Lewis Bevan.

The vehicle is mentioned in the following images:

DMU

Date: 7th June 1986

A Class 116/101/116 DMU (53890 + 59054 + 53101) at Tyseley on 7 June 1986. Keith Miller.

DMU

Date: 4th March 1990

Set number: T324

Class 116 DMBS 53053 leading set T324, with 59672 and 53101 on the Lickey Incline near Bromsgrove on 4/Mar/1990. The centre trailer is a class 115 TCL. The leading vehicle still retains it's top marker light - originally the earliest batches of class 116s had four marker lights, one above the destination box and three across the cab front. Later the lower centre marker light was removed leaving just the two standard marker lights on the cab front; in most cases the top light was removed at the same time. Robert Chilton.

DMU

Date: 2nd January 1992

Set number: T324

T324 (53053 + 59672 + 53101) with T027 (53019 + 54006) at Hereford, having arrived as the 17:30 ex-Birmingham New Street on the 2nd January 1992. Gazza Prescott.

DMU

Date: 26th March 1993

Set number: T324

First generation DMUs were far from from common on the Birmingham to Derby line by 1993 so it was a surprise when T324 formed of 53055 (class 116) + 59603 (class 115) + 53101 (class 116) appeared at Lea Marston working a Nottingham service, if the headcode panel is to be believed, on 26 March. I can only assume that it was a replacement for an unavailable sprinter and was definitely not an ECS train as there were many passengers visible on board. Peter Tandy.

DMU

Date: 7th April 1993

Set number: T324

T324 M53055 + M59603 + M53101 on the approaches of New Street 7-4-93. Kevin Dowd.
