Weather conditions on Saturday 10 February 1991 were such that EMUs on the Euston-Northampton-Birmingham route were experiencing operating problems with snow causing problems wit the sliding doors. As a result at least one Class 115 dmu was borrowed from Bletchley depot to operate a Rugby-Northampton-Milton Keynes shuttle so that Wolverton/Northampton/Long Buckby passengers could change onto main line trains at Rugby or MK. This is one set, with driving car 51857, passing Kingsthorpe on a Rugby-Milton Keynes shuttle train. The two snow-covered tracks in the foreground are the branch from Northampton to Market Harborough which closed in 1981, but had still not been lifted 10 years later. Lewis Bevan.

Tyseley's set T420, a mixed class 115/116/127 formation with class 115 DMBS 51892 on the rear of class 116 TS 59032, class 127 TSL 59607 and class 116 DMS 53092, passes through a dull and rainy Aston station on 16/Feb/1991. Robert Chilton.
A class 115 set about to set off for Marylebone from Banbury in March 1991. Ian Buck.
An overview of the scene just to the north of Aylesbury on 3 March 1991 at a time when the through line was freight-only and used mostly by trains going to and from Calvert. There are a few Class 115 vehicles stabled and maybe a Class 108 DMSL with doors removed. In 2022 passenger services travel through this site, albeit drastically changed, on their way to Aylesbury Parkway station. Peter Tandy.
Class 115 DMBS 51659 is seen stabled inside Marylebone depot in Network South East livery on 03.03.1991. Behind is a Class 108 DTC. Andy Cole.
This 4 coach NSE Class 115 DMMU is coming from Amersham to Marylebone and is approaching Neasden South Junction on 8 March 1991. The long lineside building to the left of the down line is the sidings then used by Christian Salvesen for various type of rail-borne food traffic. I don't think this was especially regular traffic at this time and the line entering the site had a good coating of rust to confirm this. Peter Tandy.
51658 has been attached to a set with a Class 108, seen in Marylebone station on the 13th April 1991. Gazza Prescott.
Four coach DMU sets were relatively unusual at Stratford-upon-Avon but on 26 April 1991 set T420 (presumably 51892 + 59032 + 59607 + 53092) visited the terminus with an afternoon arrival from Birmingham Moor Street. The white and red lights on the front of the unit shows that it was about to shunt into platform 2 to allow a Leamington Spa service to use platform 1. Peter Tandy.

DMU set T410 (51862 + 59602 + 59713 visible) in Birmingham New Street station on 8 June 1991. Lichfield City is on the destination blind. Keith Miller.
Not a brilliant quality shot, but included because it was unusual to see a class 115 set at Paddington. DMBS 51671 is seen at the rear of a 4-car set made up with 59747, 54499 and 51889 and with Princes Risborough on the destination blind, 9/Jun/1991. Robert Chilton.
A work-weary looking class 115 DMBS no. 51889 leading a 4-car set including a class 108 driving trailer (54499) in place of one of the normal trailers, with 59747 and 51671. The set is seen on 9/Jun/1991 leaving the, for a class 115, relatively unusual location of Paddington with the rear power car making quite a smokey departure. By the end of 1991 the leading power car had been withdrawn from service. Robert Chilton.
