Two car class 114 T226 (54010 + 53018) is leaving the Stratford-upon-Avon branch at Hatton in 1988 just before making its stop for any passengers and then crossing to the up main line for the rest of the journey to Warwick and Leamington Spa. As with everywhere on the network this location has suffered from largely unchecked vegetation growth and there isn't a clear shot here in 2022. Peter Tandy.

Class 114 DMU at Bescot

9th October 1988

Set number: T226

The driver trailer from set T226 - presumably 54010 - is being used along with a high density centre car for steam train rides at the Bescot open day on the 9th October 1988. Hamish Stevenson.

Class 114 DMU at Hereford

June 1989

Set number: T223

An unusual visitor to Hereford, at that time, in the form of a Class 114 'Derby Heavyweight' DMU, set T223 (presumably 54040 + 53006), sits in bay platform 4 at Hereford station. Photo taken sometime between 5th & 8th June 1989. Paul James.

Class 114 DMU at Stratford-upon-Avon

11th January 1990

Set number: T026

At Stratford-upon-Avon on 11 January 1990 platform 1 contains class 117 T309 formed of cars 51372 + 59490 + 51414 was preparing to leave for Birmingham Moor Street. The length of the exposure can be judges by the "ghosts" of passengers jostling around to join the train. Class 114 T026 (54010 visible) stood in platform 2 waiting to form an evening train to Leamington Spa. Peter Tandy.

Class 114 DMU at Stratford-upon-Avon

11th January 1990

Set number: T026

One of my favourite times of day for photography was when it was dark enough to require a tripod for time exposure (pre full-frame digital equipment!) but with some light left in the sky. This image from Stratford-upon-Avon was taken at Stratford-upon-Avon on 11 January 1990 as class 114 T026 (54010 + 53006) stood in platform 2 waiting to form an evening train to Leamington Spa. One of the Stratford drivers, Oliver, is on P1 while the train driver relaxes for a few minutes as he has nearly 30 minutes to wait until departure time. Peter Tandy.

Class 114 DMU at Stratford-upon-Avon

11th January 1990

Set number: T026

This is a colour version of B & W shot image 24444 showing class 114 T026 (54010 + 53006) at Stratford-upon-Avon dated 11 January 1990 but after the staff member had moved away. The train is the 17:07 to Leamington. The colour of the sky hasn't been manipulated but is a consequence of the long exposure, 20 seconds at f5.6 on 100asa film, needed to get a well-exposed image in the days before very bright LED platform lights Peter Tandy.

Class 114 DMU at Stratford-upon-Avon

25th January 1990

Set number: T026

Set number: T026

Class 114 T026 (54010 + 53006) at Stratford-upon-Avon and taken on the late morning of 19 March 1990. The unit would have later formed the 12.12 to Leamington Spa. Prominent in the picture are the gasholders, still in use at that time, and the mix of lower and upper quadrant semaphore signals every sign of which have now gone. Peter Tandy.

Class 114 DMU at Stratford-upon-Avon

27th April 1990

Set number: T026

In 1990 some Derby Heavyweight DMMUs were allocated to Tyseley and were often used on the infrequent shuttle service between Leamington Spa and Stratford-upon-Avon. On 27 April 1990 I went to the lineside near where I lived at the time and took shot of T026 (presumably 54010 + 53006) about to arrive at the station with the 07.30 from Leamington. The Down Goods Loop was about to be disconnected and then lifted and the associated smaller arm on the signal gantry removed. There were few opportunities to take a shot with this arm lowered in my time photographing there I have. This was done for me by a kind signalman with whom I was friendly. Peter Tandy.
