701054 & 47727 Oddington 7 September 2023

A brand new 750V third rail EMU in rural Oxfordshire! 701054 is towed past Oddington on 7 September 2023 by 47727 Caisteal Dhun Eideann / Edinburgh Castle, running as the 5Q68 10:09 Willesden to Bicester MoD. Four years after these units should have been introduced into traffic with South Western Railway, not one of them has carried fare paying passengers, instead they have been removed to various locations (such as this), well off their intended area of operation.
