Freshly repainted Pressed Steel DMU set 117 306 (presumably 51411 + 59521 + 51369) arriving into Sheffield station in September 1991. George Woods.

Freshly repainted Pressed Steel DMU set 117 306 (presumably 51369 + 59521 + 51411) arriving into Sheffield station in September 1991. George Woods.
9th October 1991
51411 at Birmingham New Street on 9/10/91, presumably 59521 behind. Sparegang.
10th April 1992
I don't have many pictures of Regional Railway liveried first generation DMUs and this Class 117 (it appears to be 117306 51369 + 59521 + 51411) is one of the few. The location is the roadbridge a short way to west of Cosford station on 10 April 1992 almost alongside the RAF Museum. This type of units was a bit thin on the ground around here by this time with class 150 Sprinters forming most of the West Midlands fleet. Peter Tandy.
6th February 1993
At Hereford 117306 (51369 + 59521 + 51411) "runs around" (changes platform?) after working 14:03 service from Birmingham on 6 February 1993. Stuart Mackay Collection.
20th February 1993
Pressed Steel Class 117 DMBS 51369 of 117306 in Birmingham New Street with the 14:51 to Longbridge on 20 February 1993. Dave Warby.
3rd June 1993
The Regional Railways colour scheme didn't look quite so good in bad weather conditions as in sunshine but any 1st generation unit was a rarity on the Derby To Birmingham line in 1993 so this shot of 117306 formed of 51369 + 59521 + 51411 at Lea Marston on 3 June 1993 was well worth a frame. This was an empty stock working which I assume was on its way from Derby to Tyseley. Peter Tandy.
7th July 1993
A view of Tyseley carriage sidings at around 12.30 on 7/7/93. Visible from left to right are : 977752 (ex-51306 - part of former Sandite unit T007), 977842 (ex-55032 - part of the then-current T007), 117 306 (51369/59521/51411) and T317 (51314/59481/51329). T317 was soon to be disbanded but, at this stage, still retained its as-delivered formation, some 33 years after it was put into service. It was also the only complete class 118 still in service. 117 306 would be officially transferred to Haymarket, to see out its last six years of life on the likes of Fife peakhour workings, just two days later. Leonard Rogers.
circa 1994
Haymarket depot DMU sidings circa 1994 contains 117306 (presumably 51411 + 59521 + 51369) and 117314 (presumably 51352 + 59489 + 51394), amongst others. S Saunders.
13th June 1994
Class 117 DMBS 51369 as part of set 117306 in Edinburgh Waverley on 13 June 1994. David Mant.

14 May 1996
117306 (51369 + 59521 + 51411) arrives into Dalmeny station on 14 May 1996 presumably with a Fife Circle service from Edinburgh Waverley. Stuart Mackay Collection.

10th February 1999
117306 (51369 + 59521 + 51411) waits in Haymarket depot before heading into Edinburgh Waverley to form an evening rush-hour Fife Circle service. Taken from the driving cab of DMS 51382 in 117313 as it emerges from the carriage-washing plant and proceeds towards the signal on the outgoing road, prior to also working an Fife Circle service on 10th February, 1999. Michael Laing.
Unknown date
117 306 and 977722 (960002) at Aylesbury (date unknown). Graham Baker.
27th September 2000
117306 (51411 closest with 51369) stands on the buffer stops of 'E' road at Aylesbury Depot, being for spares for the Sandite units based there at the time. As can be seen the unit has had it's destination blind box removed and the '6' on the unit number has been patchwork painted. The unit was transferred from Shoeburyness to Aylesbury in one trip, sandwiched between Class 121 units, although 117306 was running too. Taken on 27/09/00, this is reasonably soon after it had moved to Aylesbury. Greg Scott.
Unknown date
117 306 (51369 + 51411) at Aylesbury, date unknown. It arrived there in August 2000 from Shoeburyness and would be a source of spares before being cut up there in May 2002. Graham Baker.
29th May 2002
Class 117 51369 was cut up at Aylesbury depot by Sims Metals, seen here on 29 May 2002. A piece of body side can be seen, as well as part of the cab front, showing it was once part of set 117306. Roger Marks.
