October 1988
Set: T305
There was a diesel gala at the Severn Valley Railway in October 1988 and amongst all the locomotive-hauled trains was the chocolate and cream class 117 DMU T305 (51410 + 59520 + 51368). I suspect that fewer photographs were taken of this train than any of the others but I thought it well worth recording. It had just left Bewdley and was heading towards Bridgnorth although the destination board says "Kidderminster". I can't imagine that many of the roller blinds in use at the time had either Bewdley of Bridgnorth available for use! Note the symbol on the former headcode panel showing the Bear and Ragged Staff, this being the emblem of Warwickshire. Peter Tandy.
circa October 1988
Set: T315
This is probably an LMR publicity image. The caption on the rear states "Three of the fitters up in the 'pit' ready to give a set the routine once over. L/R Kevin Bisset (Fitter), M.R. Mirza (Asst Fitter), Bob Anderson (Electrician)." I'm guessing this is Tyseley, and the date is circa October 1988 as the date on the set board in the Class 117 window is 11.01.88. British Railways.
