Tyseley's two-car class 114 T023 (53036 + 54006) was leaving Stratford-upon-Avon with the 14.26 for Birmingham Moor Street when I shot it on 26 September 1990. The performance of these units was a bit sluggish and the 1/75 climb to Wilmcote would have made its two engines cough a bit! Peter Tandy.
Tyseley Class 114 DMU set T023 (53036 + 54006) seen at Crewe with what is thought to be the 11:50 Shrewsbury-Crewe service. Dave Warby.
Class 114 T024 (53044 + 54043) was in the soon to be lifted Cold Store Siding alongside platform 3 at Stratford-upon-Avon on 24 November 1990. It was unusual to see a DMU here on a Sunday at that date as there was no Sunday service to the station then, so I assume that it had failed and was waiting either for a fitter to arrive the next day or to be dragged back to Tyseley. Class 47 47827 was just arriving to take out the VSOE dining train with 47807 which had come into the station earlier. Peter Tandy.
Class 114 set T024 (with presumably 54043 closest) is seen in Leamington Spa on the 9th January 1991. On the left is 47 581. Mike Cooper.

Tyseley based Derby class 114 DMU set T025 (vehicles 53005 + 54039) seen climbing towards Hatton in the summer of 1990. Bob Belcher.
Set T025, formed of DMBS 53005 and DTCL 54039 at Wilmcote. No exact date, but probably 1990-91 James Bradley.
T025 E54039 + 53005 stands at the temporary platform at Coalville working the morning shuttle services, 26/5/91. Kevin Dowd.

Class 114 DTS E54039 at Snailwell on 3 February 1992. Nicholas Youngman.
Tyseley Class 114 DMU, set T026 (presumably 53006 + 54010), sits in Bay Platform 4 in Hereford station on 27th October 1989. Class 114's were not a common DMU type to be seen at Hereford, although in later years Tyseley acquired a right mix of DMU classes/types to keep a service going. Paul James.
This is a colour version of B & W shot image 24444 showing class 114 T026 (54010 + 53006) at Stratford-upon-Avon dated 11 January 1990 but after the staff member had moved away. The train is the 17:07 to Leamington. The colour of the sky hasn't been manipulated but is a consequence of the long exposure, 20 seconds at f5.6 on 100asa film, needed to get a well-exposed image in the days before very bright LED platform lights Peter Tandy.
At Stratford-upon-Avon on 11 January 1990 platform 1 contains class 117 T309 formed of cars 51372 + 59490 + 51414 was preparing to leave for Birmingham Moor Street. The length of the exposure can be judges by the "ghosts" of passengers jostling around to join the train. Class 114 T026 (54010 visible) stood in platform 2 waiting to form an evening train to Leamington Spa. Peter Tandy.
One of my favourite times of day for photography was when it was dark enough to require a tripod for time exposure (pre full-frame digital equipment!) but with some light left in the sky. This image from Stratford-upon-Avon was taken at Stratford-upon-Avon on 11 January 1990 as class 114 T026 (54010 + 53006) stood in platform 2 waiting to form an evening train to Leamington Spa. One of the Stratford drivers, Oliver, is on P1 while the train driver relaxes for a few minutes as he has nearly 30 minutes to wait until departure time. Peter Tandy.
The 14:06 ex-Leamington Spa at Stratford-upon-Avon on the 25th January 1990 formed of 53006 + 54010. Hamish Stevenson.
T026 (54010 + 53006) reversing out of Stratford-upon-Avon station on the 25th January 1990. Hamish Stevenson.
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.
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.
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.
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.
