A 2-car Class 114 DMU (vehicles 56047 + 50030) calls at Edale working the 12.20 Sheffield-New Mills on 25 October 1977. The 2 vehicles had a long working life on BR. 50030 was new (to 40A Lincoln) on 24 January 1957, and was withdrawn from TS Tyseley on 4 October 1987. It was scrapped at MC Metals, in Glasgow. 56047 was new (also to 40A) on 17 April 1957 and was withdrawn from TS on 4 October 1989. It is now preserved on the Strathspey Railway. Lewis Bevan.

Class 114s were quite a rare sight at Stratford-upon-Avon by 26 April 1989 so when I saw T221 (presumably 53002 + 54047) arrive at the station from my then nearby home I took a camera down for a shot. It is seen here leaving platform 2 with the customary exhaust smoke as the 08.13 to Leamington Spa with the familiar figure of staff member Aubrey Wheeler silhouetted on platform 1. I had good relationships with most of the staff here and Aubrey in particular who always put aside a copy of the week's Special Traffic Notice (STN) for to collect on either Friday evening or Saturday morning. This picture was taken in vertical format on a Mamiya 645 but a large scan has allowed me to crop it to landscape format without any significant loss of quality. Peter Tandy.
Loaned from Tyseley and somewhat optimistically displaying ‘Chester’ on its destination blind, Class 114 T022 (53002 + 54047) depart from Bridgnorth with the 10.40am to Bewdley during the Severn Valley Railway’s diesel gala on October 15 1989. Mel Holley.
