1988
A busy moment at Leamington Spa in 1988. The through platform lines are occupied by DMUs of Class 117 (heritage GWR liveried unit T305 51410 + 59520 + 51368 on the left) and Class 114 (set T227 with 53019 visible), whilst an unidentified class 58 passes through the centre road with a loaded MGR coal train destined for Didcot power station. Bob Belcher.
7th January 1988
Mainly associated with Lincolnshire, some of the Derby built heavyweight units were subsequently moved away. Inevitably in its quest for non-standardisation, Tyseley received some. Here, trailer 54027 leads a Corby service into Kettering on 7/1/88. The car park to the right was the site of the steam shed. Mike Dean.
11th November 1988
Class 114 DMU set T227 (54027 + 53019) sits in Doncaster station on November 11th, 1988. They had been transferred to Tyseley from Lincoln in October 1987. Rex Holt.
23rd April 1989
53019 leads 54027 as set T227 with T319 (51129, 59756, 51149) and T303 (51406, 59516, 51364) on The Institution of Mining Engineers Notts & North Derbyshire Railtour near Welbeck Colliery on a wet and overcast 23/Apr/1989. Robert Chilton.
23rd April 1989
Derby station on 23rd April 1989. This Class 114 DMU set (formed 53019 + 54027, with a Class 116 and Class 117 on the rear out of sight) was waiting to depart for a tour of colliery branch lines in Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire. The tour was organised by the Institute of Mining Engineers. Andrew Walker.
26th May 1989
Class 114 Set T227 (presumably 53019 + 54027) waits time at Preston (at 1400) on Friday 26th May 1989. Colin Brooks.
16th September 1989
I took this picture of class 114 T227 (54027 + 53019) in the bay platform at Rugby station on 16 September 1989 shortly after it had arrived from Coventry. It was quite an experience to travel on this unit as it ran flat out up the main line for the whole journey instead of its usual stop-start saunter between stations on suburban lines. The smell of very hot engines was very evident in the bay as was the sound of them clicking as they cooled. Peter Tandy.
