Class 101 DMU at Stratford-upon-Avon

×

Details

One of the more colourful units to arrive at Stratford-upon-Avon was this ex-Strathclyde class 101 (T078, 53146 + 51249). I saw it on the morning of 1 July 1991 but was unable to get out of the office during the day to record it on film. However, it stuck to diagram and is pictured here leaving the Warwickshire terminus in the company of Class 117 T310 still in corporate blue and grey.

The Tyseley unit unit number appears to been applied in a rather amateurish fashion, as does the paint covering the front-end damage - the colour there is more akin to the bodyside shade rather than the normal yellow. Still, I suppose that this were the final months of DMMU workings in the area, so it probably wasn't worth spending too much on the cosmetic appearance of local trains.
