Class 116 DMU at Lichfield City

9th September 1990

Set number: T419

This shot of T419 (presumably 51151 closest) is one of those so ordinary that at the time it hardly seemed worth taking and if it hadn't been for the HST in the background disappearing to the north the shutter release probably wouldn't have been pressed.
