P461 (51318, 59470, & 51303) is a long way from its Laira base as it passes Stoke Orchard on 21 July 1984 with the 16:25 Gloucester to Worcester Shrub Hill service. P461 was reduced to a two car set in 1987 and then withdrawn the following year. The two power cars were cut up at Vic Berry's at Leicester, while the centre car although withdrawn earlier managed to survive until 1991, when it was disposed of at Mayer Parry, Snailwell.

C470 (51328 & 51313) pass Portskewett (between Newport and Chepstow) with the 10:54 Newport to Chepstow service on 4 September 1986. C470 had slightly less than a year left in traffic, and had already lost its centre car (59478) when this picture was taken. Both the vehicles seen here ended their days at Mayer Newman, Snailwell in 1988. At this time various Welsh allocated units were enlivened with the Welsh Dragon on the yellow front end, along with a thin red line recalling the original 'speed whiskers' of the 1960s.

B473 (51316, 59483, & 51331) approaches Standish Junction on 7 July 1984 with the 08:48 Swindon to Worcester Foregate Street service. The Swindon lines (left) and the Bristol lines (right) are at the same level at this point being just a few yards from the actual junction, but as the lines curve round to the left in the distance the difference in level becomes marked, until the Swindon line peels off to the left towards Stonehouse at a considerably higher level.

B473 (51316, 59483, & 51331) accelerates away from Kingham station on 20 May 1987 with the 17:30 Oxford to Moreton-in-Marsh all stations local service. Never as common on the Cotswold Line as the Class 117 and 119 units, B473 was however a more frequent visitor than most, by virtue of its Bristol allocation. B473 was withdrawn in July 1993, and was scrapped almost immediately at M C Metal Processing, Glasgow.
