Date: 8th August 1964
Set number: 327
A Derby suburban triple set 327 seen near Bearley on 8 August 1964, led by M50119. Many (but not all) of the Tyseley set numbers in this period matched the last two digits of the centre car, in this case 59027. By the end of the sixties a 5xx number series was used, often just switching the 3 to a 5, this set becoming TY527. Michael Mensing.
Date: 7th August 1976
Set number: TY527
Class 116 DMU set TY527 (presumably 50119 + 59027 + 50061) heads away from Kidderminster station. With Kidderminster on the destination blind it was probably a termination service now switching lines. Another 116 and a 101 are stabled in the sidings. Michael Mensing.
Date: 8th June 1977
Set number: TS527
Class 116 set TS527 (M50119 and presumably 59027 + 50859) at Sutton Coldfield on 8 June 1977. Michael Mensing.
