Now here's a combination i don't think I ever saw again...! Approaching Twyford on the down relief on 20th March 1987 is an ECS working formed of a Derby built Class 116, with a Class 127 Trailer, and a GRCW built Class 119. The train was running from Paddington - Reading where it was split, with the Tyseley interloper returning home as the 1140 Reading - Birmingham New St service. Unfortunately i only got the formation of the leading unit, which was, 53053 + 59614 + 51146. M53053 was delivered new to TY in May 1957 as W50053, with its original partners W59003 + W50095. It remained allocated to the West Midland's depot for all of its working life and was finally withdrawn after a career lasting 28 years on 27th May 1995. It was to be scrapped by MC Metals at Springburn.
