The vehicle is mentioned in the following images:

DMU

Date: 12th July 1987

Keith has noted Class 105 Departmental DMU TDB977453, DMUs 53026, 54026, 54039 and 53005 in this view of Lincoln depot on 12 July 1987. In the platform on the left are the two departmental 100s: 975539 + 975349 and 975637 + 975664; it looks like the Cravens is next in that line, presumably its partner is 977454. Keith Miller.

DMU

Date: February 1989

Set number: T222

Class 114 DMU set T222 (presumably 54039 + 53005) gets away from its Attenborough stop en route to Derby in February 1989. The four-aspect signal, waiting room and footbridge have all been replaced since this time, arguably with less aesthetic structures in all three cases. Andrew Walker.

DMU

Date: 19th August 1989

Set number: T222

T222 (54039 + 53005) is seen in Sleaford yard on the 19th August 1989. Gazza Prescott.

DMU

Date: 26th September 1990

Set number: 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.

DMU

Date: 26th May 1991

Set number: T025

T025 E54039 + 53005 stands at the temporary platform at Coalville working the morning shuttle services, 26/5/91.
