R405 Hinksey 21 June 1986

R405 (51340, 59491 & 51381) passes Hinksey Yard on 21 June 1986 with the 2F58 16:49 Paddington to Oxford service. For a while during the mid 1980s the DMBS vehicle of this set had the set number R405 applied to the front end, instead of the correct L405, which appeared on the other end. Obviously somebody thought that as the London allocated units were actually based at Reading, that the Berkshire Town should get some proper recognition!
