4th September 1990
Set: T026
Class 114 set T026, 53006 closest - presumably with 54010, at Stratford-uoon-Avon on September 4, 1990. John Carter.
26th September 1990
Set: T038
On your marks... Two different DMU sets with 3 classes of vehicle at Stratford-upon-Avon on 26 September 1990. Class 101/116 hybrid set T038 (51808 + 53838) is in platform 1 forming the 15.26 departure to Birmingham Moor Street while class 114 T025 (53005 + 54039) was on a Leamington Spa service, from memory the 16.12 from Stratford. This picture was taken after the signalling arrangements had been changed to allow arrivals and departures from any of the 3 platforms. This removed the need for shunting every arrival from platform 1 to either 2 or 3 with a new upper quadrant starting signal being provided for trains leaving platform 2, the taller signal on the right being redesignated as the starter for platform 1. Peter Tandy.
26th September 1990
Set: T023
Tyseley's two-car class 114 T023 (53036 + 54006) was leaving Stratford-upon-Avon with the 14.26 for Birmingham Moor Street when I shot it on 26 September 1990. The performance of these units was a bit sluggish and the 1/75 climb to Wilmcote would have made its two engines cough a bit! Peter Tandy.
17th November 1990
Set: T311
Tyseley's Class 117 set T311 led by 51376, with 59500 and 51334, at Stratford-upon-Avon on 17/Nov/1990. Robert Chilton.
24th November 1990
Set: T024
Class 114 T024 (53044 + 54043) was in the soon to be lifted Cold Store Siding alongside platform 3 at Stratford-upon-Avon on 24 November 1990. It was unusual to see a DMU here on a Sunday at that date as there was no Sunday service to the station then, so I assume that it had failed and was waiting either for a fitter to arrive the next day or to be dragged back to Tyseley. Class 47 47827 was just arriving to take out the VSOE dining train with 47807 which had come into the station earlier. Peter Tandy.
22nd December 1990
Set: T322
Class 116 53071 arrives into Stratford-upon-Avon with the 13.20 ex-Leamington. 47568 is with the ECS for the Shakespeare Limited excursion, 22 December 1990. Dave Warby.
22nd December 1990
Set: T322
Class 116 DMS 53132 from set T322 with the 15.38 to Leamington Spa in Stratford-upon-Avon station on 22 December 1990. Note the damage to the cab corner (and the 'Ouch' written on it. Dave Warby.
22nd December 1990
Set: T322
Class 116 DMBS 53071 from set T322 on the rear of the 15.38 to Leamington Spa in Stratfor-upon-Avon station on 22 December 1990. Dave Warby.
26th April 1991
Set: T311
Class 117 DMU T311 (presumably 51376 + 59500 + 51334) were pictured arriving at Stratford-upon-Avon with an early afternoon train from Leamington Spa on 26 April 1991. The signalling arrangements had recently been changed here with a new starting signal for platform 2 and alterations to the point locking arrangements for the exit from platform 1 meaning that trains were able to depart directly from there, under the control of the tall starter, rather having to shunt to P2. Trains were still not able to arrive directly into P2, this not being possible until later signalling changes when control was shifted to the West Midlands Signalling Centre at Saltley. Peter Tandy.
26th April 1991
Set: T420
Four coach DMU sets were relatively unusual at Stratford-upon-Avon but on 26 April 1991 set T420 (presumably 51892 + 59032 + 59607 + 53092) visited the terminus with an afternoon arrival from Birmingham Moor Street. The white and red lights on the front of the unit shows that it was about to shunt into platform 2 to allow a Leamington Spa service to use platform 1. Peter Tandy.
6th May 1991
Set: T315
Tyseley's dmu set T315 (power cars presumably 51352 + 51394) departs smokily northwards from Stratford station with a Birmingham service to the total indifference of the crowds on the platforms. They were there to see and ride behind GWR King 6024 or BR Standard 8 71000 on a steam special, as I was. Pete LG99.
1st July 1991
Set: T078
One of the more colourful units to arrive at Stratford-upon-Avon was this ex-Strathclyde class 101 (T078, 53146 + 51249). I saw it on the morning of 1 July 1991 but was unable to get out of the office during the day to record it on film. However, it stuck to diagram and is pictured here leaving the Warwickshire terminus in the company of Class 117 T310 still in corporate blue and grey. The Tyseley unit unit number appears to been applied in a rather amateurish fashion, as does the paint covering the front-end damage - the colour there is more akin to the bodyside shade rather than the normal yellow. Still, I suppose that this were the final months of DMMU workings in the area, so it probably wasn't worth spending too much on the cosmetic appearance of local trains. Peter Tandy.
July 1991
Set: T311
Class 117 DMU T311 formed of 51376 + 59500 + 51334 was photographed arriving at Stratford-upon-Avon with an afternoon service from Birmingham in July 1991. Most of the infrastructure in the background has gone and there isn't an equivalent shot worth the effort in 2022. Peter Tandy.
July 1991
Set: T311
As the sun stayed out at Stratford-upon-Avon after T311 (51334 + 59500 + 51376) had arrived from Birmingham in July 1991 I took another shot as it stood under the GWR footbridge. Class 150 Sprinters were regularly appearing here by this time and T311 wasn't showing as allocated to Tyseley later in the year. Peter Tandy.
1st July 1991
Set: T310
The class 101 unit (T078, 51249 + 53146) fitted nicely between various posts at the end of Stratford-upon-Avon's platform 2 on 1 July 1991. It was working with T310 (presumably 51373 + 59486 + 51415). The scene has changed a lot since this photograph was taken in that the gasholders have been demolished, the semaphore signals have been replaced with electric lights (twice) and a white paling fence has been erected to deter trespassers from getting onto the line. Peter Tandy.
Summer 1991
Set: T014
Class 121 55034 standing in platform 1 of Stratford-upon-Avon in the summer of 1991. Judging by the direction of the sun the unit would have formed the 14.10 to Leamington Spa. Peter Tandy.
22nd November 1991
Set: T012
Single units DMUs were not all that common on the Leamington Spa to Stratford-upon-Avon line by November 1991 so when I saw class 121 55032 (T012) arrive on 22 November I had a few shots. As the train left the station, platform 1 was being cleaned with a steam washer and two of the station staff, Aubrey Wheeler (left) and Roy Smith respectively were watching what was going on and taking a parcel to the Red Star office. Peter Tandy.
22nd November 1991
Set: 012
As 55032 left Stratford for Leamington Spa I took the opportunity to take a powerfully backlit picture with some exhaust smoke as the unit passed under the GWR footbridge. I took a colour shot just before the train moved away but I think the black & white image works better. Peter Tandy.
10th August 1992
Set: T014
By 10 August 1992 single unit DMUs were not an everyday sight on the inadequate 2 hourly trains between Leamington Spa and Stratford-upon-Avon so it was worth a walk to the station when 55034 + 55032 were working the 17.05 to Leamington. This shot was taken just as the units were leaving the station and not long after resignalling had meant that a shunt from platform 1, historically the arrivals platform, to P2 was no longer necessary. The rust on the then little used tracks on P2 can been clearly seen. Peter Tandy.
June 1993
Set: 117310
Framed by the bridge. Stratford upon Avon in June 1993 with 117310 (presumably 51373 + 59486 + 51415) having just arrived from Birmingham Snow Hill. Stephen Burdett.
