→DMU Group vehicles: date of arrival amended from SVR stock book 9
The [[The DMU Group (West Midlands) | DMU group]] operates five cars. These can be used as separate three car and two car units, but are usually combined to form a five car unit for purposes such as the summer Scenic Cruises. From time to time maintenance requirements may result in operation as a four car unit.
The first 2 cars, DMBS M51941 and DMCL M52064 arrived on the SVR from Doncaster via Tyseley in October on 30 March 1990, initially on a two year loan. The 2-car set was formally commissioned on 13 October 1991. After a return trip from Kidderminster to Bridgnorth, the MD of Regional Railways presented the key to officers of the DMU Group.<ref>SVR News 102</ref>
Unpowered centre car TSL M59250 arrived in on 7 June 1992 and entered service in November of that year to form a 3-car unit. The centre car includes the Group’s main bar facility, called 'The Travelling Tavern'.
A fourth car, DMBS M51935, was purchased in June 1992 as a source of spares, but by 1993 had been restored and entered service.
