50068
7th February 1987
Set: TS524
Until 1987, the GWR's Moor Street station was the terminus for trains both from the Leamington Spa and Stratford-upon-Avon lines. When Snow Hill was reopened a two platform through station was constructed adjacent to the terminus, which then became redundant and was closed. On 7 February 1987 the 12.10 to Stratford departs from Moor Street in the capable hands of driver Geoff Davies, the set being TS524, presumably 53068 + 59622 (a 127) + 53112. Moor Street lay derelict for many years, but now has been restored and is now used again by trains to relieve pressure on Snow Hill and to provide shoppers with a more direct route to their destinations. The car park is now part of the new Moor Street station with its own terminus platforms used by many of Chiltern Railways' Marylebone services including those using class 68 power in push-pull mode. Peter Tandy.

14th September 1978
Set: TS507
My note says "Last train of the day at Redditch". Taken on September 14, 1978, the timetable was similar to that three years earlier, this makes it the 18.35 to Birmingham, the fourth and final train of the day. Set TS507, presumably 50069 + 59007 + 50099. Jeremy Chapter.
3rd November 1978
M50069 at Monument Lane on 03/11/78, at the rear of a formation just plunging into the tunnel to Birmingham New Street station. Viewed from St Vincent Street, this historic site is now buried beneath the National Indoor Arena. Steve Jones.

Leading is DMBS W50070 displaying 'Birmingham (Old Hill)' on the destination blind. It has set number 326 in the cab window, meaning the centre car is presumably 59026, the set would later become TY526/TS526. Michael Mensing.

1977
Set: TS526
Two refurbished Class 116 DMUs arrive into Lye 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.
27th January 1979

29th September 1984
Set: TS526
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.
10th August 1985
Set: TS526
Class 116 units were by far the most common to be seen at Leamington Spa and on 10 August 1985 TS526 (53070 + 59626 (class 127 trailer) + 53095) had just arrived from Birmingham Moor Street looking as if it had recently been repainted in the standard blue and grey. Peter Tandy.
14th June 1986
Set: TS526
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.
