Class 116 DMU at Sutton Coldfield

1976

Tyseley based Class 116 set TS526 (presumably 50095 + 59026 + 50070) at Sutton Coldfield in the Autumn of 1976. Lichfield City is on the destination blind. Michael Mensing.

Class 116 DMU at Lye

1977

Two refurbished Class 116 DMUs arrive into Lay station in the summer of 1977. Several doors are wide open towards the centre of the formation despite there being at least two coach lengths to go before the train stops. At the front is set TS526, presumably 50070 + 59026 + 50095. Michael Mensing.

Class 116 DMU at Four Oaks

30th May 1978

Refurbished Tyseley Class 116 set TS526 (presumably 50095 + 59026 + 50070) is seen arriving into Four Oaks with the 6.29pm Longbridge - Lichfield service on the 30th May 1978. Michael Mensing.

Class 116 DMU at Hatton

27th January 1979

Refurbished Class 116 set TS526 (50070 closest, presumably with 59026 + 50095) at Hatton on January 27, 1979. Michael Mensing.

Class 116 DMU at Manchester Victoria

24th May 1980

Class 116s at Manchester Victoria on 24 May 1980, working one of the shuttles to the Rainhill 150 celebrations. Closest is set TS526 and M50095 presumably with M59026 + M50070. Nigel Menzies.

Class 116 DMU at Gloucester

29th September 1984

Tyseley-based Class 116 set TS526 (53070 leads, presumably with 53095 on the rear) arrives into Gloucester on September 29, 1984. Worcester Shrub Hill is on the destination blind. Michael Mensing.

Class 116 DMU at Longbridge

14th June 1986

It wasn't too difficult to take this sort of picture at Longbridge in 1986. There was a 15 minute local service on the Cross City line with some trains terminating here with others continuing to Redditch. I can't quite make out the unit number on the hybrid set about to leave on the up line on 14 June but think it may be T526 with class 116 power cars sandwiching a class 127 trailer. If I am correct then the car numbers are 53070 + 59626 + 53095 which were listed as being at Tyseley during 1987 although as a four-car set with another class 127 vehicle. It wasn't uncommon for Tyseley to muck about with their sets as faults developed and all sorts of odd combinations were seen. Peter Tandy.

Class 116 DMU at Birmingham New Street

7th March 1987

A 47 on a NE/SW working awaiting departure, with a class 116 suburban DMU set no. TS526 formed 53070 - 59612 - 53095 stabled in the rain at Birmingham New Street, 07/Mar/1987. Robert Chilton.
