GW liveried class 117 unit T305 has, somehow, found its way to York in the summer of 1988 - seen here in one of the south end bay platforms. 51410 was based at Tyseley between January 1988 and July 1993. Tony Walmsley.
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.

Tyseley's GWR chocolate and cream livery set T305 (51368 + 51410) was working as a 2-car in this photograph from 1989. I shot it at Shirley as it was working a terminating service from Birmingham Moor Street and waiting for the road to proceed and cross over to the up line before returning to Moor Street. These trains have since been extended to Whitlocks End following resignalling and some housing development in the area. Peter Tandy.
Class 117 DMU T305 (51368 + 59520 + 51410) was repainted into a chocolate and cream livery for the GWR celebrations in 1985 and was still in those colours on 1 April 1989 when I photographed it near Soho Junction in Birmingham. Most the of the local services were operated with electric units so I assume that this one heading to Birmingham New Street had come from beyond Wolverhampton on the Shrewsbury line. Peter Tandy.
