A Class 114 DMU (56042 + 50038) on Doncaster station with the 15:15 Hull-Manchester Piccadilly service on 11 April 1981. Robert Thomas.
E56042 + E50038 New Holland Pier on April 18, 1981. A shame the ferry wasn't allowed to continue once the Humber Bridge was built. It would probably be still well used by train passengers between Hull and North Lincolnshire John Carter.
A Class 114 Derby Heavyweight DMU at New Holland Town on April 18 1981 formed of DTC E56042 and DMBS E50038. John Carter.
The 49-strong fleet of Class 114 2-car DMUs spent most of their working lives based at Lincoln depot. Although a local type with standard bus seating, they had a wide sphere of operation in Eastern England, covering Lincolnshire, Humberside, Nottinghamshire and South Yorkshire, but regularly worked deeper into West / North Yorkshire, reaching Darlington in the north and Peterborough in the south. They often worked into Leeds on services to / from Sheffield, and here, 53046 & 54042 are sen at City station with a Sheffield service on 14/06/1987. Graeme Phillips Collection.
Class 114 54042, set number T021, is seen at Tyseley on 05.12.1987 with Red Star branding having been taken over by the Parcels sector. Andy Cole.
E53044 + E54042 at Malton with a York - Scarborough service on 20 April 1987. Stuart Mackay Collection.
Class 114 DMBS 53038, part of set T021 (presumably with 54042), is seen with Red Star parcels branding on the side at Tyseley on 26.12.1987. Andy Cole.
A Class 114 set led by 53038, carrying Tyseley set number T021 (and presumably with 54042), branded "Red Star" and displaying "Bingham" in the destination blind passes the remains of Burton Latimer & Isham station with an up service. The up slow has already been lifted and the last remains of the down slow are being dealt with. A quarter of a century later, a third track was re-instated. Mike Dean.
Tyseley DMU depot includes Class 114 Derby 2-car parcel DMU T021 (53038 + 54042) and another unidentified set plus high density stock (including 51867 from T412 on the left) on 28-11-88. On Tour With the Class 13 Army.
