Class 114 driver trailer E54010 in Nottingham Midland station. Undated, but being renumbered in the 54xx series means this is 1983 or later. Phil Deane Collection.
A Class 114 DMU with DTCL E56010 closest at Worksop, date unknown. The DMBS is possibly E50024. Paul Redmond.

Two car class 114 T226 (54010 + 53018) is leaving the Stratford-upon-Avon branch at Hatton in 1988 just before making its stop for any passengers and then crossing to the up main line for the rest of the journey to Warwick and Leamington Spa. As with everywhere on the network this location has suffered from largely unchecked vegetation growth and there isn't a clear shot here in 2022. Peter Tandy.
The driver trailer from set T226 - presumably 54010 - is being used along with a high density centre car for steam train rides with Black Five 44932 at the Bescot open day on the 9th October 1988. Hamish Stevenson.
Class 114 54010, set number T223, is seen inside the factory at Tyseley on 15.04.1989. Andy Cole.
An unusual visitor to Hereford, at that time, in the form of a Class 114 'Derby Heavyweight' DMU, set T223 (presumably 54040 + 53006), sits in bay platform 4 at Hereford station. Photo taken sometime between 5th & 8th June 1989. Paul James.
At Stratford-upon-Avon on 11 January 1990 platform 1 contains class 117 T309 formed of cars 51372 + 59490 + 51414 was preparing to leave for Birmingham Moor Street. The length of the exposure can be judges by the "ghosts" of passengers jostling around to join the train. Class 114 T026 (54010 visible) stood in platform 2 waiting to form an evening train to Leamington Spa. Peter Tandy.
One of my favourite times of day for photography was when it was dark enough to require a tripod for time exposure (pre full-frame digital equipment!) but with some light left in the sky. This image from Stratford-upon-Avon was taken at Stratford-upon-Avon on 11 January 1990 as class 114 T026 (54010 + 53006) stood in platform 2 waiting to form an evening train to Leamington Spa. One of the Stratford drivers, Oliver, is on P1 while the train driver relaxes for a few minutes as he has nearly 30 minutes to wait until departure time. Peter Tandy.
This is a colour version of B & W shot image 24444 showing class 114 T026 (54010 + 53006) at Stratford-upon-Avon dated 11 January 1990 but after the staff member had moved away. The train is the 17:07 to Leamington. The colour of the sky hasn't been manipulated but is a consequence of the long exposure, 20 seconds at f5.6 on 100asa film, needed to get a well-exposed image in the days before very bright LED platform lights Peter Tandy.
T026 (54010 + 53006) reversing out of Stratford-upon-Avon station on the 25th January 1990. Hamish Stevenson.
Class 114 T026 (54010 + 53006) at Stratford-upon-Avon and taken on the late morning of 19 March 1990. The unit would have later formed the 12.12 to Leamington Spa. Prominent in the picture are the gasholders, still in use at that time, and the mix of lower and upper quadrant semaphore signals every sign of which have now gone. Peter Tandy.
In 1990 some Derby Heavyweight DMMUs were allocated to Tyseley and were often used on the infrequent shuttle service between Leamington Spa and Stratford-upon-Avon. On 27 April 1990 I went to the lineside near where I lived at the time and took shot of T026 (presumably 54010 + 53006) about to arrive at the station with the 07.30 from Leamington. The Down Goods Loop was about to be disconnected and then lifted and the associated smaller arm on the signal gantry removed. There were few opportunities to take a shot with this arm lowered in my time photographing there I have. This was done for me by a kind signalman with whom I was friendly. Peter Tandy.
Class 114 DMU set T026 (54010 + 53006) at Derby on 10 May 1990. Sparegang.
Class 114 54010 at Snailwell on November 11, 1991. Nicholas Youngman.
A Class 114 DMU at Workshop, date unknown. The DMBS is E50024, the DTCL is possibly E56010. Paul Redmond.
A Class 114 DMU at Worksop circa early 1980s. DMBS E50024 is closest, the DTCL is likely E56010. Paul Redmond.
E50024 with E56010 passing Barnetby east signalbox. Phil Bidwell.
The 1045 Sheffield - Cleethorpes service runs into Scunthorpe Station formed of Class 114 pairing E53019+E54010. In approximately three weeks time the leading vehicle, E53019 will be transferred to Tyseley, ending a 26 years association with Lincoln Depot ..... 14th September 1987. Nigel Mack.
Tyseley Class 114 DMU, set T026 (presumably 53006 + 54010), sits in Bay Platform 4 in Hereford station on 27th October 1989. Class 114's were not a common DMU type to be seen at Hereford, although in later years Tyseley acquired a right mix of DMU classes/types to keep a service going. Paul James.
The 14:06 ex-Leamington Spa at Stratford-upon-Avon on the 25th January 1990 formed of 53006 + 54010. Hamish Stevenson.
A convenient gap in the foilage for two-car class 114 T026 (53006 + 54010) rolling down Hatton Bank on 17 April 1990 while working an early afternoon train from Stratford-upon-Avon to Leamington Spa. This location is just to the north of where Warwick Parkway was later built. Peter Tandy.
This picture was taken on 27 April 1990 and is a graphic demonstration of how things just outside Stratford-upon-Avon station have changed over the years. The goods loop, signalbox, gasholders, canning factory and chimneys have all gone and it's next to impossible to reach this spot for a "now" comparison shot in 2024. The train is class 114 set T026 (54010 + 53006) leaving the town with the 08.12 service to Leamington Spa, the return of this, the 07.30 from Leamington (see image 20787). Peter Tandy.
Class 114 set T026, 53006 closest - presumably with 54010, at Stratford-uoon-Avon on September 4, 1990. John Carter.
