At Aylesbury on the 6th November 2004 was Pressed Steel bubble 977873, the former 55022, freshly painted into Blue / Grey. It carries the text "Chiltern Railways - Serving Stratford from December 12th" on the side. Roger Marks.
Prior to the introduction of Chiltern Railways' services to Stratford-upon-Avon there were some route familiarisation runs for crews. On 11 November 2004 single car DMMU set 960014 (977873, ex-55022) was in use and this image shows it shortly after arrival at Stratford. Peter Tandy.
During Chiltern Railways' route familiarisation runs for crews prior to the introduction of services to Stratford-upon-Avon 977873 carried some advertising on the unit's sides although it is open to debate how much notice prospective passengers may have taken of it. Taken at Stratford-upon-Avon on 11 November 2004. Peter Tandy.
During the layover of 960014 at Stratford-upon-Avon on 11 November 2004 I took the opportunity to drive to Wilmcote station for another shot as it went north to Hatton on its route learning run. Here it is passing under the GWR footbridge, albeit in an odd shade of muddy pink. Peter Tandy.
It doesn't take long for a train to travel from Wilmcote to Hatton, reverse, and then return. Despite the gloomy weather I must have thought int worthwhile on 11 November 2004 to hang on for 960014 to return for its second visit of the day to Stratford-upon-Avon. Peter Tandy.

Taken on 08/12/04 at Wilmcote whilst 960014 (977873, ex-55022) was used on route learning duties for Driver and Guard training of Chiltern Railways staff on the Stratford-upon-Avon route, previously operated by Thames Trains. The transfer of services to Chiltern Railways commenced on 12/12/04, a few days after these photos were taken, with the route learning duties being shared with 960021 (usually used for Sandite duties). 960014 and 960013 were both transferred from Derby to Aylesbury in 2002 and subsequently exchanged with 121027 and 121031, enabling 960014 to be fully refurbished and prepared in advance of the route learning.
