This is the 10.12 from Stratford-upon-Avon to Leamington Spa at Hatton on 22 January 1994 formed of 2 car 117213 (51382 + 51339). First generation DMUs were very thin on the ground by this time around here so well worth recording. Peter Tandy.
8th February 1994
Set number: 117213
The roadbridge at Cape Road, Warwick was a good shot for southbound (up) trains in the morning. I stopped here on 8 February 1994 despite it being a cold and misty morning for a shot of 117213 (51382 + 51339) working the 10.12 Stratford-upon-Avon to Leamington Spa train as it slowed for Warwick station. The change of gradient behind the train is obvious in this image and marks the start of the 1/110 climb to Hatton. In steam days a banker or two would have been ready for work in a bay at Warwick station to give northbound freights a shove to Hatton station where they would drop off, cross onto the up line and return southwards. Peter Tandy.
