Wilmcote Bank, the 1/73 northbound climb out of Stratford-upon-Avon is the location for this shot of class 114 formed of set T021 (presumably 53021 + 54012) on 28 April 1990. It is on the 17.XX from Stratford-upon-Avon to Leamington Spa and one of the lineside gasholders near Stratford station station is clearly visible in the picture which I took from a convenient farm crossing. Peter Tandy.
Tyseley's T316 (a Class 118 presumably 51306 + 59473 + 51321) climbing Hatton Bank on 20 June 1989. The train is the 18.44 from Leamington Spa to Birmingham Moor Street and the brakes will soon have been applied in preparation for the stop at Hatton station. I don't recall having seen another unit with this style of Midline branding and wonder if this was only one so treated? Peter Tandy.
This is near Mortimer station on the Basingstoke to Reading line on the morning of 1 May 1990 after a short walk along a convenient lineside footpath. Class 101 set L840 with 53311 leading (presumably with 59117 + 53322) was on a Reading-Basingstoke diagram. The performance of these diesel mechanical units was a bit more lively than the regular DEMUs but the exhaust note wasn't quite so pleasing to my ears. Peter Tandy.
Less commonplace at Mortimer on the Reading to Basingstoke line than the regular DEMUs and giving a welcome splash of colour on the beautiful evening of 23 June 1989 was class 101 unit L837 led by 51437 (presumably with 59128 + 53751). The well-preserved platelayers hut was a bit of a rarity even then with most of these structures having long since become derelict. It looks as if the original brick-built hut has been lost but replaced by a newish garden shed although the chimney and fireplace survived. I guess that this was still in use at the time and I do recall talking to a ganger on this stretch of line who said that the good state of the track was a matter of considerable pride to him and his colleagues. Peter Tandy.
This Bank Holiday 2 May 1994 image shows a real hotch-potch six car DMMU about to make the Henley-in-Arden stop. The leading coach was from class 116 set T356 with a 2 coach class 116, a 2 coach NSE set with a single driving coach from another class 116 on the back. This Bank Holiday Monday saw first generation DMUs replacing the usual class 150 sprinters presumably to cater for the influx of visitors to Stratford from the West Midlands conurbation. The police were always out in force on these holidays to keep an eye on any would-be tourists who had drunk more than was good for them (and for anyone else within earshot) on the inward journey. These characters were usually unceremoniously dumped in a van and taken away to Stratford police station to sober up before being put back on a later train without being allowed into the town. Peter Tandy.
The Bank Holiday Monday on 2 May 1994 saw some Birmingham to Stratford-upon-Avon trains formed of DMMUs rather than the usual class 150 sprinters. Here is a mixed formation of two power triples led by T351 (presumably 53921 at the front) and a Network South East liveried set (the rear vehicle labelled as L713, presumably 51391) approaching at Bishopton. Peter Tandy.
The Bank Holiday Monday on 2 May 1994 saw some Birmingham to Stratford-upon-Avon trains formed of DMMUs rather than the usual class 150 sprinters. Here is a mixed formation (two power-triples, T351 on the rear) led by Network South East liveried L713 (presumably 51391) passing the long-gone Stratford down distant signal between the two bridges at Bishopton in the days before Stratford Parkway station was even a vague thought in someone's mind. This signal was rarely raised to the clear position; in steam days virtually everything stopped at Stratford either for water or to pick up passengers and even in the days when the line saw diesel hauled freight it would have been necessary for the Evesham Road crossing gates to have been closed and the road set to allow this to happen. Peter Tandy.

I am pretty sure this is taken on the 2nd of January 1965, showing a Pressed Steel single car at Fowey about to return to Lostwithiel. The KDH Archive.
Lots of Pressed Steel single Car DMU action at Lostwithiel on I think the 2nd of January 1965, the one on the left is definitely heading for Fowey and I guess the one on the left is maybe heading for Par and maybe Newquay? The KDH Archive.

11th July 1965 and the DMU on the Plymouth Railway Circle trip to Swanage and back has had enough at Newton Abbot on the return trip. Hymek D7011 is being added to get everyone home. It appears to be a Swindon Cross-Country DMU. The KDH Archive.
11th of July 1965 and this DMU is on the Plymouth Railway Circle special from Plymouth to Swanage (it worked to Wareham and back), at Weymouth. It appears to be a Derby suburban set. The KDH Archive.
A hybrid DMU in Oxford station on 9 July 1987, with Class 104 DMBS 53540 standing in for Class 117 DMBS. The other two vehicles are likely to be 59497 and 51387 (L410). The KDH Archive.
