Do you have any you can add?
On the 14.30 branch shuttle from Upminster entering Romford on May 22, 1976. According to my notes the formation was E50881, E59367 and E50853. Note the gent on the right in a fine pair of denim flares, and also the nameboard with white lettering on a blue background, which has escaped the British Rail corporate identity. Tom Burnham.
With traces of old set number 167 showing through, set 116 395 (50853 59367 50894) is seen at Doncaster Works with GG Trans-Clyde branding. Class 101 car 50230 is on the left. Undated, possibly in 1981 when the set was transferred from Hamilton to Stratford. Jerry Glover.
Stratford allocated Class 116 DMU formed of E53865 + E59367 + E53894 approach Stratford depot whilst forming the 1630 Tottenham Hale - North Woolwich service on 18th April 1986. I believe these services ceased with the commencement of the summer timetable and resulted in the closure of Lea Bridge Station. Nigel Mack.
A Bletchley - Kettering service at Harrowden formed of Bletchley set 53628 (Class 108) + 59206 (Class 104) + 59367 (Class 116) + 51570 (Class 108) on May 5, 1987. Mike Dean.
On 29 June 1987 Class 108 51570 leads 59367 (Class 116) + 59206 (Class 104) + 53628 (Class 108) on a Kettering - Bedford service at Kettering South. Despite the Tyseley set number, this was a Bletchley unit. Mike Dean.
The often-smokey atmosphere of Birmingham New Street is shown to good effect in this rather gloomy shot, with Tyseley's hybrid 4-car suburban set T409 formed class 116 DMS 53894 (nearest) with out of sight 59367 (class 116 TC), 59600 (class 127 TSL) & 51860 (class 115 DMBS) adding it's contribution on 26/Jul/1991. Many of the Tyseley suburban sets contained class 127 centre trailers which were gangwayed, refurbished and painted blue/grey for the first time in their lives when the St.Pancras - Bedford line was electrified. This saw the class 127 power cars withdrawn, with some being converted for parcels use, and the trailers sent north to the West Midlands for another 10 years' use and becoming the longest-lived class 127 vehicles other than those which were preserved. Robert Chilton.
Last days of dmus on the Cross City line. A November 1991 view of unit T409 (presumably 51860 59600 59367 53894) leaving Sutton Coldfield on a Four Oaks to Longbridge service. Services were electrified Feb 1992. This was the scene of an accident when a York - Bristol train derailed at speed killing 14, on 23/1/1955. Stephen Burdett.
DMU sets T409 (53894 and presumably 59367 + 59600 + 51860) and T309 arrive at Derby Station at 09.18 on Bank Holiday Saturday, the 29th August 1992. Working from Burton On Trent to Skegness, the units will reverse here and call at Nottingham on the way to the seaside resort. Dave Gommersall.
