51893
17th March 1990
Kings Sutton was a charming little station south of Banbury, it retained a GWR wayside halt feel to it then along came Network South East. Not content with installing enough station lights to land a 747 at night they then painted everything they could lay brush on the brightest red they could find at Wimbledon B&Q. Of course the station users still had to cross the busy main line on a curve to access the northbound platform, not that many did use the station then, the partially dirt surfaced car park only has a grubby Ford Cortina and the authors BMW K100 bike in it. This was the pre-Chiltern era and the train is a collection of Network South East DMUs lead by Class 115 51893 (presumably paired with 54257) working the 10.20 Banbury - Marylebone. 17/03/1990.
Kings Sutton is now painted a less strident blue and has a large footbridge. The car park is now much larger, properly surfaced and full to capacity every day. Geoff Dowling.

51888
8th January 1984
Several Class 115 Suburban 4-Car DMU sets were stabled for the weekend to the North of Aylesbury station on January 8th 1984. The nearest set in this view was formed of cars M51888, M59747, M59743 & M51900. Built in 1960 at Derby for use on services from Marylebone over the ex GC & GC/GW joint lines, the units were also employed on longer distance workings to Nottingham Victoria in the twilight years of the Great Central Main Line as a trunk route.
