114 DMU

19th March 1990

Set: T026

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.


114 DMU

28th March 1990

Set: T027

One of my favourite classes of DMMU was the Derby Heavyweights, class 114. Several sets ended their days at Tyseley Depot and spent a lot of time shuttling between Stratford-upon-Avon and Leamington Spa. With only 1 car powered, their performance could best be described as ponderous, but the seats were comfortable and the ambience, in my opinion at least, much better than the class 150s currently used in the area. This picture was taken during the afternoon of 28 March 1990 and shows T027 (presumably 53019 + 54027) arriving at Stratford from Leamington. Note that the signalman has already set the ground signals and the points for the train to reverse out and run back into platform 2 for the return to Leamington; this was before the track and signalling was altered to allow departures from platform 1. Peter Tandy.


114 DMU

28th March 1990

Set: T027

Class 114 set T027 (presumably 53019 + 54027) after shunting into platform 2 at Stratford-upon-Avon on 28 March 1990 and prior to departure for Leamington Spa. The upper quadrant starter is in the off position but the guard hasn't changed the destination blind, probably realising that it wasn't worth the effort as the few passsengers using the train in the mid-afternoon would have had as good a knowledge as him where the train was going. The signal to the left of the starter controlled the exit from the down goods loop which ran behind the signalbox; this was still occasionally used at the time for stabling the stock of excursion trains. It wasn't long for this world though, being severed the following year and removed altogether within a few months. Peter Tandy.


114 DMU

28th March 1990

Set: T027

This picture was taken at Bishopton, just outside Stratford-upon-Avon, on 28 March 1990 long before the Parkway station was built and not long after the A46 link road was opened. It shows class 114 T027 (54027 + 53019) passing Stratford East's fixed down distant signal with a train from Leamington Spa later to form the 12.12 back to the spa town. Peter Tandy.

114 DMU

17th April 1990

Set: T026

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.


114 DMU

27th April 1990

Set: T026

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.


114 DMU

27th April 1990

Set: T026

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.


114 DMU

28th April 1990

Set: T021

Wilmcote Bank, the 1/73 northbound climb out of Stratford-upon-Avon is the location for this shot of class 114 formed of set T021 (presumably 53021 + 54012) on 28 April 1990. 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.


114 DMU

30th April 1990

Set: T24

By April 1990 class 114 units had largely taken over local trains between Stratford-upon-Avon and Leamington Spa. This is T024 (53044 + 54043) in platform 2 at Stratford on 30 April with the 17.12 departure with a couple of tourists appearing to be asking if this was their service. The people on the platform were waiting for the 17.30 train to Birmingham which was about to arrive in platform 1. Peter Tandy.

114 DMU

5th July 1990

A rather indistinct shot from a passing train of cl.114 nos.53044/54043 at Leamington on 5/7/90. Despite what the platform clock says, the time was ca. 15.50 and the unit may have formed an incoming service from either Hatton or Stratford-upon-Avon. This was during the period of four years or so at the end of the class's life when the remaining units were based at Tyseley (apart from a few which had gone into parcels service). They moved here in 1987 after a thirty-year stint based at Lincoln, their only home up to that point. Leonard Rogers.
