Unknown date

Set number: T231

Class 114 set T231 (presumably 53036 + 54006) in Derby Midland station, circa 1988. Malcolm Clements.

8th October 1989

Set number: T023

Between 1988 and 1991 the Institute of Mining Engineers organised a series of railtours visiting what was left of the British Coal mining industry as pit closures were becoming more frequent as the industry was being run down. The third 'IME' railtour named the "North Yorkshire Tour" is seen here prior to departure from Sheffield Midland on 08/10/89 at 08.55 with set T023 on the rear working with two 3-car class 116 units. I managed to travel on all the tours but have very few images of them as they were intensive freight line tours mostly in DMUs with no photo stops so any record of them tended to be a grabbed shot before boarding. They ventured to places thought inconceivable a few years earlier, the collieries on this tour were: Goldthorpe, Frickley, South Kirkby, Royston Drift, Grimethorpe, Ledston (Allerton Bywater), Selby New Mine, Kellingley, Sharlston and Woolley Westside not to mention Drax Power station for good measure. Adrian Nicholls.

1990

Set number: T023

Class 114 set T023 (presumably 53036 + 54006) at Wolverhampton in 1993. John Law.

26th September 1990

Set number: T023

Tyseley's two-car class 114 T023 (53036 + 54006) was leaving Stratford-upon-Avon with the 14.26 for Birmingham Moor Street when I shot it on 26 September 1990. The performance of these units was a bit sluggish and the 1/75 climb to Wilmcote would have made its two engines cough a bit! Peter Tandy.

16th March 1991

Set number: T023

Tyseley Class 114 DMU set T023 (53036 + 54006) seen at Crewe with what is thought to be the 11:50 Shrewsbury-Crewe service. Dave Warby.
