As late as 1991, essential supplies of water and coal were delivered from Stratford-upon-Avon to the signal box at Bearley Junction by means of a Leamington Spa bound train. Although an electrical supply was used for the signalling system, lighting and the cooking facilities were still powered by gas using pressurised containers. On the misty and cold morning of 24 January 1991 I travelled on the 08.12 from Stratford with the express purpose of obtaining a photograph of the process in action and here is a water container being handed to John Overfield, the signalman, by the guard of the class 114 DMU. Peter Tandy.

Class 114 DMBS 53027 at Snailwell on 12th April 1991. It was not unusual for vehicles to be sent for disposal with doors and windows boarded up. It was normally done with sheets of wood, this one has steel sheets welded on to seal the vehicle, a sign that it had never been asbestos stripped. Nicholas Youngman.
