On 30 September 1978 a return trip on the Looe branch was strengthened by adding a three-car set to the class 121 Pressed Steel "bubble car" to convey passengers from a Main Line Steam Trust loco-hauled railtour down the branch. W55026 (new 1960) is "on the stops" with most of the other three cars not visible (and indeed the full train did not fit the platform". Mercifully I recorded the bus details - this is TTP999, a Leyland Tiger Cub with Weymann body new to City of Portsmouth in 1960 as their number 25. I believe it was owned by Deeble of Upton Cross at the time. Jeremy Chapter.

The "Marlow Donkey" service to Maidenhead has recently arrived at the Buckinghamshire terminus, amid signs of recent snow. This was 17 February 1979. The railcar was built by Pressed Steel in 1960 for the London Area of the Western Region. After a ten-year period in departmental service this vehicle was put back into passenger service by Chiltern Railways in 2002. It was used on Aylesbury to Princes Risborough services until 2017.

Class 121 diesel railcar W55020 is seen at Bourne End on 17 February 1979 working the Maidenhead to Marlow service. Before May 1970, the line used to continue beyond the station to High Wycombe, but now the station is used for reversal of trains bound for Marlow with only a short length of platform available to clear the junction pointwork, so there is little chance of electrifying the line with existing rolling stock.
