8th April 1989
Set: L403
RG allocated Class 117 DMU set L403 formed of vehicles 51336+59488+51378 brake for the station stop at Taplow with the 1110 stopping service from Reading to Paddington on 8th April 1989.

Most were destined to last another 3 or 4 years before they were replaced by 'Turbo's'... ! Nigel Mack.
