Pressed Steel Class 117 set T311, the DMS closest is presumably M51376, having arrived in Birmingham New Street from Hereford on 8 March 1991. Dave Warby.
Class 117 DMU T311 (presumably 51376 + 59500 + 51334) were pictured arriving at Stratford-upon-Avon with an early afternoon train from Leamington Spa on 26 April 1991. The signalling arrangements had recently been changed here with a new starting signal for platform 2 and alterations to the point locking arrangements for the exit from platform 1 meaning that trains were able to depart directly from there, under the control of the tall starter, rather having to shunt to P2. Trains were still not able to arrive directly into P2, this not being possible until later signalling changes when control was shifted to the West Midlands Signalling Centre at Saltley. Peter Tandy.
Class 117 DMU T311 formed of 51376 + 59500 + 51334 was photographed arriving at Stratford-upon-Avon with an afternoon service from Birmingham in July 1991. Most of the infrastructure in the background has gone and there isn't an equivalent shot worth the effort in 2022. Peter Tandy.
As the sun stayed out at Stratford-upon-Avon after T311 (51334 + 59500 + 51376) had arrived from Birmingham in July 1991 I took another shot as it stood under the GWR footbridge. Class 150 Sprinters were regularly appearing here by this time and T311 wasn't showing as allocated to Tyseley later in the year. Peter Tandy.
Class 117 set T312 seen in Derby station with DMBS 51338 closest, presumably with 59504 + 51380. Undated. Ian Francis.
Class 117 T312 Class 117 DMU T312 (51338 + 59504 + 51380) was working a Birmingham Moor Street to Stratford-upon-Avon service on 19 June 1988 when I photographed it shortly after leaving Wilmcote station. This set wasn't at Tyseley for much longer after this date because class 150 Sprinters were beginning to appear in the West Midlands and "proper" DMUs were starting to be transferred elsewhere for their final year or two. Peter Tandy.
A recent exile at the time from the West Midlands caused by the arrival of newer class 156 Sprinter DMU's (hence no destination blind) is ex Tyseley set T312 comprising vehicles 51380+59504+51338. The train is seen passing Abercynon South station on January 28, 1989 while working the 12.00 Cardiff Central to Aberdare. It will shortly call at Abercynon North station which opened on 03.10.1988 and was built when the Aberdare branch was reopened to passenger traffic. Adrian Nicholls.
A three-car suburban DMU (Class 117 set T312, presumably 51380+59504+51338) speeds through Attenborough en route to Nottingham on Tuesday 23rd May 1989. Andrew Walker.
T312 (presumably 51380 + 59504 + 51338) enters Worcester on the 18th May 1990 working a Hereford service. Mike Cooper.

Pressed Steel Class 117 3-car Suburban dmu No.T313 (presumably 51382 + 59492 + 51339) in Birmingham New Street with another set in July 1988. Hugh Llewelyn.
87010 heads a southbound passenger service on the Up Fast past a Class 117 DMU, set T313 presumably 51339 + 59492 + 51382, heading in the opposite direction at Norton Bridge station. 5th September 1988. John Crooks.
Class 117 Set T313 (presumably 51382 + 59492 + 51339) and Set T342 with a Llandudno - Birmingham New Steet aervice arrived at Prestatyn (at 15XX) on Wednesday 30th August 1989. Colin Brooks.
Right to left: 51339, 156 440 and 55033 at Stourbidge Junction on September 5, 1990. John Carter.
Class 117 set T313 (51382 closest, presumably with 59492 + 51339) at Redditch on September 6, 1990. John Carter.
A Coalville-Leicester DMU shuttle, run in connection with Coalville Open Day, passes Bagworth and Ellistown on 5 June 1988. Closest is Class 117 set T314, presumably 51390 + 59478 + 51348. Lewis Bevan.
T314, presumably 51348 closest, at Newport on 10/03/89. Roddy MacPhee.
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.
