This 4-car class 115 DMU set is seen at Quainton Road while working the F&DRS (Fakenham & Dereham Railway Society) "Bucks & Oxon Freighter" railtour covering the rural backwaters and freight only delights of Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire on July 14, 1984 . The tour was a very sociable one having departed London Marylebone at the civilised time of 09.25 to make a large circuit to the North West of the capital before returning to terminate at London Broad Street at 17.10. The tour was allotted 30mins at the Buckinghamshire Railway Centre located at Quainton Road which given its size and on both sides of the line was woefully inadequate as I recall. Most of the day seemed to be spent covering the lengthy freight only line from Aylesbury to Fenny Stratford before retracing the route to take the former L&NWR line to Oxford via Bicester. Other branches visited included Morris Cowley, Milton Freight Terminal at Didcot and the Brentford Town branch.
