8th December 2004
Vehicle: 977873 Set: 960014
Taken on 08/12/04 at Wilmcote whilst 960014 (977873, ex-55022) was used on route learning duties for Driver and Guard training of Chiltern Railways staff on the Stratford-upon-Avon route, previously operated by Thames Trains. The transfer of services to Chiltern Railways commenced on 12/12/04, a few days after these photos were taken, with the route learning duties being shared with 960021 (usually used for Sandite duties). 960014 and 960013 were both transferred from Derby to Aylesbury in 2002 and subsequently exchanged with 121027 and 121031, enabling 960014 to be fully refurbished and prepared in advance of the route learning.

11th November 2004
Vehicle: 977873 Set: 960014
During the layover of 960014 at Stratford-upon-Avon on 11 November 2004 I took the opportunity to drive to Wilmcote station for another shot as it went north to Hatton on its route learning run. Here it is passing under the GWR footbridge, albeit in an odd shade of muddy pink. Peter Tandy.
11th November 2004
Vehicle: 977873 Set: 960014
It doesn't take long for a train to travel from Wilmcote to Hatton, reverse, and then return. Despite the gloomy weather I must have thought int worthwhile on 11 November 2004 to hang on for 960014 to return for its second visit of the day to Stratford-upon-Avon. Peter Tandy.

It is on the 17.XX from Stratford-upon-Avon to Leamington Spa and one of the lineside gasholders near Stratford station station is clearly visible in the picture which I took from a convenient farm crossing. Peter Tandy.

This set wasn't at Tyseley for much longer after this date because class 150 Sprinters were beginning to appear in the West Midlands and "proper" DMUs were starting to be transferred elsewhere for their final year or two. Peter Tandy.
8th June 1986
Vehicle: 51323 Set: TS632
A Class 118 dmu set passes Wilmcote on 8 June 1986. I was waiting for "Jubilee" 4-6-0 no 5593, and I think most of the others on the platform were waiting to see the same train. It is Tyseley set TS632, presumably 51323 + 59475 + 51308. Lewis Bevan.

7th September 1987
Vehicle: 54284 Set: TS252
Two 2-car units head up Wilmcote Bank on the afternoon of 7 September 1987 on their way to Birmingham Moor Street from Stratford-upon-Avon. Closest is Class 121 DTS 54284, presumably partnered with 53052 as set TS252. The road in the background is the A46 under construction at this time and the new overbridge visible over the unit's front cab, now right by Stratford Parkway station, was nearing completion. Peter Tandy.
7th September 1987
Vehicle: 54277 Set: T211
On the afternoon of 7 September 1987 two of Tyseley's two-car Class 108 sets led by T211 (54277 and presumably 53943) were photographed climbing the 1/75 of Wilmcote Bank a short distance from Stratford-upon-Avon. The leading DTS was possibly unique at the time as it still had operational headcode blinds although I'm not sure what the code carried on this run represented. Later, on the run to Stratford from Leamington Spa it had changed to display the set number. These shots were a bonus as I was in this spot for a picture of 47628 with the VSOE on its way from Stratford to London Victoria. Peter Tandy.
