Running thirty minutes late, 155301 passes Hay Lane (near Swindon) with the 07:12 Warminster to Swindon service on 14 June 1991. Obviously what ever the delay was resulted in nobody bothering to check the destination blind, which still reads Warminster! This train had traversed the little used Trowbrige to Chippenham line and had called at Melksham station, being the only up train to do so. There was a similar working in the evening in the opposite direction. This is probably one of the last photos taken of 155301, as it was withdrawn shortly afterwards for conversion to two Class 153 single car units, emerging as 153301 & 153351 in September 1991.

155316 passes Lyneham on 22 May 1988 with the 17:35 Oxford to Great Malvern service. This picture is taken from the emergency level crossing on the Lyneham to Milton-under-Wychwood road, provided in case any tall vehicle needs to use the road, as the adjacent road underbridge only has a headroom of 7 feet 3 inches.

155324 arrives at Moreton-in-Marsh on 24 April 1988 with the 17:35 Oxford to Hereford service. Class 155s worked the Cotswold Line services for a few years between the demise of the heritage DMUs and the introduction of the Class 165 & 166 Turbo units. During the early 1990s most Class 155s were split into two single car units with a small cab constructed in the previously 'dumb' end. Consequently 155324 pictured here is now 153324 and 153374, neither of which are likely to appear at Moreton-in-Marsh again!

A view of the small station at Ascott-under-Wychwood on the Cotswold Line before the former goods yard was fenced off from the main line. 155328 passes through at speed with the 07:48 Hereford to Oxford service on 31 March 1990. A siding formerly ran alongside the side of the platform visible here, and actually survived the track rationalisation of the 1970s. Note the speed restriction signs: 100 mph for the single track to Oxford and 75 mph for the double track section towards Worcester.

A wave from the driver, as 155328 passes Daylesford, on the Cotswold Line with the 17:30 Oxford to Great Malvern service on 1 April 1990. These units were built in 1987 by British Leyland at Workington, and following good old BL tradition were beset with problems from the start. They did not last long in the form seen here, most being converted to Class 153 single car units in 1991/2. The Victorian gothic church at Daylesford, seen in the background, is the last resting place of Warren Hastings (1732-1818), the first Governor General of India.

Despite it being the middle of May it is obviously still cold enough to have a fire going in the house! 155345 departs from the staggered platform at Micklefield station with the 08:30 Manchester Victoria to York West Yorkshire Metro service on 12 May 1990. 155345 is from the small second batch of these units, which survived being split into single car Class 153 units.
