The Hertfordshire Railtours 1Z22 Marylebone to Chinnor 'Chinnor Tonic' railtour stands at Thame on 9 July 1988. An unusual DMU combination was used for this tour, with two Class 115 vehicles on the outer ends and two Class 108 vehicles in the centre, all four being driving coaches! 51652 (nearest the camera), 54500, 54222, & 51654 bask in the sun next to the grass grown platforms, which last saw passengers in 1963. This scene has now been completely transformed. The rails and platforms have gone, replaced by a road, with a large industrial estate built on the land to the right, and houses on the land beyond the bridge.

This is definitely something out of the ordinary - a Class 115 railtour! 51676 leads 59654, 59753, & 51671 past Stenson Junction on 2 June 1984 with the RESL 1T08 07:00 Marylebone to Crewe 'Midland Engineer' railtour. DMU railtours have certainly declined in popularity in favour of loco hauled traction based tours, and nowadays are very unusual. In the 1960s and 1970s however they were relatively common as they suited the branch line 'track bashing' type tours which were common before most such branches were closed.
