Class 114 T024 (53044 + 54043) was in the soon to be lifted Cold Store Siding alongside platform 3 at Stratford-upon-Avon on 24 November 1990. It was unusual to see a DMU here on a Sunday at that date as there was no Sunday service to the station then, so I assume that it had failed and was waiting either for a fitter to arrive the next day or to be dragged back to Tyseley. Class 47 47827 was just arriving to take out the VSOE dining train with 47807 which had come into the station earlier. Peter Tandy.
Class 114 set T024 (with presumably 54043 closest) is seen in Leamington Spa on the 9th January 1991. On the left is 47 581. Mike Cooper.
Class 114 DMU set T024 (presumably 53044 + 54043) at Coalville depot during the open day on Sunday 26 May 1991. David Russon.
Class 114 DMBS 53044 at Snailwell on the 11th November 1991. Nicholas Youngman.
