The 4-car class 115 DMU used on the F&DRS 'Bucks & Oxon Freighter' railtour on July 14, 1984 is seen during a photo stop at the closed station of Winslow which lost its passenger service from 01/01/1968 but remained as a derelict building until it was demolished in 1989.

On a very grey summers day a 4-car class 115 DMU set is seen during a lunch break layover at Quainton Road on the Fakenham & Dereham Railway Societies "Bucks & Oxon Freighter" railtour on 14 July 1984. The former Metropolitan & Great Central Joint Railway station had lost its public service on 4/3/1963 but was located at the heart of the Buckinghamshire Railway Centre which occupied land and sidings on either side of what became the Aylesbury to Bletchley freight only line. It was used for occasional excursion trains and visiting railtours and for a period in the 1980's was served by a shuttle from Aylesbury on Bank Holidays for passengers visiting the railway centre.

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.
