DMU

Date: 19th July 1985

A Marylebone based class 115 passes on the down main line at Leamington Spa with am 1L04 High Wycombe to Matlock charter operated by Chiltern Trains on on 19 July 1985, long before privatisation and the official adoption of that name by the TOC. The set comprised of vehicles 51675, 59763, 59649 and 51671 and with 4 coaches was a relatively unusual sight at Leamington. The signal for the up main was on green so there had been a reasonable chance of a really messy picture with a third train in shot as the special passed a class 116 unit in platform 2 but all was well on this occasion. Peter Tandy.

DMU

Date: 23rd April 1989

The 11.39 to Marylebone departs from Aylesbury on 23 April 1989. The Class 115 set was recorded as 51886 + 59737 + 59763 + 51893 (order of power cars uncertain), the 108/115 at the front was 54274 + 51676.
