The class 101 unit (T078, 51249 + 53146) fitted nicely between various posts at the end of Stratford-upon-Avon's platform 2 on 1 July 1991. It was working with T310 (presumably 51373 + 59486 + 51415). The scene has changed a lot since this photograph was taken in that the gasholders have been demolished, the semaphore signals have been replaced with electric lights (twice) and a white paling fence has been erected to deter trespassers from getting onto the line. Peter Tandy.
T311 (presumably 51376 + 59500 + 51334) was a Tyseley-based 3-car Class 117 dmu photographed passing Bagworth and Ellistown on a Leicester-Coalville service as part of the arrangements for Coalville Open Day on 11 June 1989. Lewis Bevan.

Class 117 DMU set T311 (presumably 51376 + 59500 + 51334) heads towards Coalville for the 1989 Open Day and is seen here approaching Merry Lees in Leicestershire. The date was 11th June. Andrew Walker.
Class 117 Set T311 (presumably 51334 59500 51376) tails 116 set T325 with the 1710 Llandudno - Birmingham New St as they depart Llandudno Junction (at 1724) on Monday 28th August 1989. Colin Brooks.
Class 117 DMU T311 formed from 51334 + 59500 + 51376 was photographed at Bishopton, just outside Stratford-upon-Avon, on 28 March 1990. The train was a Birmingham Moor Street to Stratford-upon-Avon, later to return as the 12.26 to the West Midlands. I doubt that it would be possible to take a picture from here in 2024 with only one vehicle on the A46 road. Peter Tandy.
Tyseley's Class 117 set T311 led by 51376, with 59500 and 51334, at Stratford-upon-Avon on 17/Nov/1990. Robert Chilton.
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 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.

T312 (presumably 51380 + 59504 + 51338) enters Worcester on the 18th May 1990 working a Hereford service. Mike Cooper.
