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.

Class 121 W55025 Liskeard 30 April 1979. We had to get off on the branch platform and wait on the main line platform while the Bubble repositioned after working the last service of the day up from Looe and then formed a stopper to Plymouth. Sadly despite me working for BR at the time the crew wouldn't allow us to stay on board to do the rare connecting line off the branch. Somewhat oddly after this they did however agree to make a special unscheduled stop to set down at Devonport where we were staying in the Youth Hostel, thus saving us the trek back out from the city centre.
