Class 116 DMU at Wolverhampton

Class 116 DMU at Hatton Bank

11th April 1986

On 11 April 1986 Tyseley class 116 set T620 (presumably 53849 + 59606 + 53878) was climbing Hatton Bank with an ECS working from Leamington Spa to either Tyseley depot or Birmingham Moor Street. Hundreds of trees were later planted along the fence line by the landowner who was concerned that birds from his pheasant shoots would fly too low when being driven from the adjacent field of cover crops. The result today is a linear wood hiding the line altogether. Peter Tandy.

Class 116 DMU at near Claverdon

16th May 1986

In 1986 all but one train each way per day between Birmingham and Stratford-upon-Avon ran along the North Warwickshire Line unlike in later years when an hourly service ran on the route via Hatton North curve and Solihull. On 16 May 1986 a class 116 (set TS620, presumably 53849 + 59606 + 53878) is seen on the single line near Claverdon with the 17.25 from Birmingham Moor Street to Stratford. The photograph was a bonus on the evening that steam locomotive 777 Sir Lamiel was operating a private charter to Stratford. Peter Tandy.

Class 116 DMU at Smethwick West

5th June 1986

Tyseley's class 116 T620 (presumably 53849 + 59606 + 53878) was photographed near Smethwick West on 5 June 1986 with a Birmingham to Worcester fast service. The shot nearly didn't make the cut because of the poor framing caused by me pressing the shutter release too late! The redeeming feature was the information board in the central cab window telling the public that this train was an express. Peter Tandy.

Class 116 DMU at Birmingham New Street

10th October 1986

Class 116 Set TS620 53849 at Birmingham New Street on 10th October 1986.The rest of the formation was'nt included but presume were 59606 and 53878. Nicholas Youngman Collection.
