At about this time the rundown of North London Railway dmus was in full swing and we started to couple anything that would move in random sets. Class 117 51400 was at this time withdrawn and is seen in the sidings at Bletchley depot. Ian Buck.
Class 117 51373, set number 117210 is seen stabled at Tyseley on 26.12.1993. This was refurbished into Regional Railways as a three car unit with 51415 and 59486, and was numbered 117310, but it is seen here with the centre car removed, hence the set number being 117210. It was later returned to a three car set and was transferred away to Haymarket. Set T207 can be seen to the right. Andy Cole.

Bentley Heath crossing is a few hundred yards to the north of Dorridge station and the footbridge there offers a decent viewoint in either direction.

These still ran at regular intervals throughout the day with one per hour being extended to Stratford-upon-Avon although in August 2021 these are replaced with buses between Dorridge and Stratford because of train crew shortages. Circa 1993. Peter Tandy.

117211 at Culloden 08/05/94 5Z61 1545 Inverness - Perth. The set, returning from Inverness after having NRN radio equipment added at the depot, had recently had the centre car re-instated and would become 117311 (presumably 51334 + 59500 + 51376). Roddy MacPhee.
