By 1991 there were just a handful of Class 114s still in service. Tyseley set T023 (54006 & 53036) heads north past Clay Mills (Hargate) on 17 May 1991 with an ECS working. The lead vehicle (54006) became one of the few Class 114s to escape the cutter's torch, and is now preserved at the Midland Railway Centre. 53036 had a short reprieve as departmental 977769.
