9th September 1990
Set: T314
A picture from 9 September 1990 with class 117 T314 formed of 51348 + 59677 + 51390 working on the Birmingham Cross City line but only between Lichfield City and New Street. The unit is leaving the station to cross over and run back into the Birmingham departure platform, a move necessary before the line was electrified and equipped with bi-directional signalling. For those liking the sun on the front of their trains it seems that I timed both this and the above shot wrongly! Peter Tandy.
9th September 1990
Set: T314
On Sunday 9 September 1990 inter-regional trains ran via Lichfield City on the Cross City line in the West Midlands. The usual DMUs were also running and as these terminated here a shunt between up and down platforms was required. In the picture class 117 T314 (51348 + 59677 + 51390), transferred to Tyseley from the Western region in 1988, is and passing the signal box as it entered the station from Birmingham before going out towards Alrewas for its reversal. Peter Tandy.

2nd November 1990
Set: L421
Class 117 set L421 with DMS 51401 at the front (presumably with 59511 + 51359) is seen departing West Drayton with a service towards Paddington on 02.11.1990. When the centre car was removed it gained the set number L703. Andy Cole.
17th November 1990
Set: T311
Tyseley's Class 117 set T311 led by 51376, with 59500 and 51334, at Stratford-upon-Avon on 17/Nov/1990. Robert Chilton.
29th November 1990
Set: T307
When this picture of class 117 T307 (51370 + 59522 + 51412) approaching Cosford station on the Wolverhampton to Shrewsbury line was taken on 29 November 1990 class 150 Sprinters were beginning to make their presence felt across the West Midlands. At the same time class 20s on MGRs serving Ironbridge Power Station were in the process of being replaced with class 58s and it was to record both types of train that I went onto this line on several occasions. It's not hard to work out where the DMU was going having left Wolverhampton a bit earlier in the morning. Peter Tandy.
29th November 1990
Set: T307
Class 117 T307 (51412 + 59522 + 51370) as it paused at the completely wood-built Cosford station on 29 November 1990 with a Wolverhampton to Chester service on 29 November 1990. This station was largely built to accommodate servicemen and women based at the RAF station here. Little RAF flight activity uses the place now but it is a major training service and the home of a truly outstanding RAF museum hosting many attractions and an annual airshow. Peter Tandy.
29th November 1990
Set: T308
An added bonus for the photographer visiting Cosford was the presence of conveniently placed semaphore signals. It was a shame that the majority of the GWR-style lower quadrants had been replaced by the time I was going here but they were still better than the modern alternative. On 29 November 1990 class 117 DMU T308 (51371 + 59509 + 51413) was pictured about to stop with a Chester to Wolverhampton service. Neither of the loops here were much used at this time and I was never fortunate enough to take pictures with the appropriate signals in the "off" position. Peter Tandy.
