London Marylebone station on 14th January 1985, and nothing had really changed to the structure of the station since the steam era. BR Class 115 DMUs forming services to and from Aylesbury stand at the buffers during the middle of the day; nothing remarkable about this, just another day at this former Great Central Railway London terminus. These units plied the route day in, day out for over thirty years, between 1961 and 1992. Gordon Edgar.
When snowfall came to London in January 1985, presenting unusual photographic opportunities, I couldn't resist capturing Marylebone station a few years before modernisation took place. Class 115 DMU (power cars 51667 and 51674) leaves a smoke trail as it departs and passes beneath Rossmore Road forming an Aylesbury service on 15 January 1985. The Marylebone class 115 sets, which were later transferred to Bletchley but remained on Chiltern Line duties, were declared surplus after the introduction of Class 165s from 1991 onwards and the final Class 115 working out of Marylebone was in July 1992. Gordon Edgar.

A four car Class 115 DMMU leaves Banbury station's platform 1 for London Marylebone on 25 January 1986. The scene here has changed in the intervening years but not as much as one might expect. The signal controlling this train's departure is still in the same place but the starter for platform 2 is now a three aspect electric variety whilst the lower quadrant signal operating the up loop has been moved a few yards further south. The clock just visible alongside the taller of the two starters, very much a Great Central feature rather than Great Western, has gone as has its counterpart at the north end of platform 3. One of the main changes is the recent, at the beginning of 2011, appearance of two new lower quadrant signals at the south end of platform 2, not to mention the erection of a row of Portakabins just about where I was standing. Peter Tandy.
