2nd May 1994
Set: L713
The Bank Holiday Monday on 2 May 1994 saw some Birmingham to Stratford-upon-Avon trains formed of DMMUs rather than the usual class 150 sprinters. Here is a mixed formation (two power-triples, T351 on the rear) led by Network South East liveried L713 (presumably 51391) passing the long-gone Stratford down distant signal between the two bridges at Bishopton in the days before Stratford Parkway station was even a vague thought in someone's mind. This signal was rarely raised to the clear position; in steam days virtually everything stopped at Stratford either for water or to pick up passengers and even in the days when the line saw diesel hauled freight it would have been necessary for the Evesham Road crossing gates to have been closed and the road set to allow this to happen. Peter Tandy.

29th May 1994
Set: 117305
The Branch Line Society's "Devonport Docker" DMU railtour traverses the Looe branch connection through Liskeard Goods Yard on May 29th 1994 operated by 117305 (51368 + 59520 + 51410). What should have been one of the highlight of the tour was withdrawn from the itinerary by BR at very short notice. The line had always been on the "banned" list because of a perceived risk of buffer locking but it did seem the BLS had at last got approval to take a passenger train over the connection between the mainline and the branch with this tour. It wasn't to be though and the line was one of two lines withdrawn from the tour route a few days before it ran. The other rather unfortunately was the Keyham Junction to Devonport Dockyard branch after which the tour was named. As the tour still had approval to visit the freight only Moorswater branch off the Looe line the DMU set is seen being run ECS between Liskeard mainline platforms and the Looe branch bay. Adrian Nicholls.
