2nd November 1986
At Fritwell on the Chiltern Line's Ardley Bank on Sunday 2 November 1986 there were more photographers and once again I suspect that I was alone in taking this picture of a class 115 returning to Marylebone from Banbury. We all were waiting for another steam special heading for Stratford-upon-Avon this time hauled by 4468 Mallard. Peter Tandy.
2nd November 1986
On Sunday 2 November 1986 I went to a spot at Fritwell on Ardley Bank, a few miles north of Bicester on the then single track Chilterm line. The first train along was a class 115 DMU working a Marylebone to Banbury service and although there were many other photographers present I doubt if anyone else took a picture of it. The main focus of attention was on 4472 Flying Scotsman working a Marylebone to Stratford-upon-Avon dining train which came along a short while after the DMU had cleared Aynho Junction. Peter Tandy.

Unknown Date
The original 645 transparency of this image was found in an old developing tray in the spare room once used as my darkroom and I thought it worth scanning. I've no idea when it was taken but circa late 1980s and was obviously from Kings Sutton, taken in the early evening on a slightly misty day. The collection of vehicles heading for Banbury ( 115/108 and 101/suburban hybrids) is best described as a mish-mash both of colour schemes and classes. Peter Tandy.

3rd January 1987
On 3 January 1987 I had a trip to London Marylebone with the intention of photographing SR 777 Sir Lamiel leaving the station with a special to High Wycombe. LNER 4472 Flying Scotsman (or Flying Moneypit as it often called today) was also involved and is seen here waiting for a path to the stabling point. It also features two dmus pictured in heavy backlighting as they form up and down Banbury services. on the left a class 115 and on the right is two class 108/115 hybrids. The parapet of this road bridge is particularly high and it was necessary to either have high steps, or as I did, stand on the roof of a Land Rover complete with a platform and access ladder owned by another of the photographers present! Peter Tandy.

I took this shot of another anonymous class 115 as it performed a shunt move, shown by both red and white lights being lit, at London Marylebone on 3 January 1987. This shuffling about is no longer necessary in 2021 as changed signalling arrangements mean that there are no longer dedicated arrival and departure platforms at the terminus. Peter Tandy.
17th January 1987
The branch from Luton to Dunstable was included in the itinerary of Hertfordshire Railtour's 'Chiltern Chariot' railtour on 17 January 1987. The journey began and ended at Marylebone, taking in such delights as Wembley, Kensington, Bedford and Aylesbury. The two class 115 DMUs are seen by Dunstable Park, the far end presumably at Dog Kennel Walk bridge as the train was prevented from getting to the very end of the line. At this time, cement and oil traffic still ran, this being the first passenger working since 1965. This section now forms part of the busway route to Houghton Regis. Kevin Lane.
