Class 114 DMU set T221 (53002 and presumably 54047) on the rear of set T214 in Matlock station on Sunday 12 June 1988. David Russon.
114 Set T221 (presumably 53002 + 54047) with the 08:28 Peterbrough - Sleaford after arriving at Spalding on Saturday 10th September 1988. Colin Brooks.
Set T221 (53002 + 54047) seen in Nottingham station on the 17th September 1988. Hamish Stevenson.
Class 114s were quite a rare sight at Stratford-upon-Avon by 26 April 1989 so when I saw T221 (presumably 53002 + 54047) arrive at the station from my then nearby home I took a camera down for a shot. It is seen here leaving platform 2 with the customary exhaust smoke as the 08.13 to Leamington Spa with the familiar figure of staff member Aubrey Wheeler silhouetted on platform 1. I had good relationships with most of the staff here and Aubrey in particular who always put aside a copy of the week's Special Traffic Notice (STN) for to collect on either Friday evening or Saturday morning. This picture was taken in vertical format on a Mamiya 645 but a large scan has allowed me to crop it to landscape format without any significant loss of quality. Peter Tandy.
Do you have any images of the set you can add?
