DMU

Date: 25th August 1980

At Aylesbury is 51667 + 59752 (and unseen behind 59653 + 51676) on the 25th August 1980. Robert Frise.

DMU

Date: 17th September 1988

Until the Class 165 dmus came along in 1990 services out of Marylebone to Aylesbury and Banbury were dominated by the Class 115 dmus allocated to Marylebone. This photo shows a unit (made up of 51663 + 59660 + 59752 + 51886) leaving Banbury, and passing the now-demolished Banbury South signalbox, on the 09.42 to Marylebone on 17 September 1988.
