1401 passes Freefolk (between Whitchurch and Overton) with the 10:26 Salisbury to Basingstoke service on 17 June 1984. This unit was renumbered into the standard TOPS format in July 1986, becoming 204001. The following year the motor coach (60107 at the rear in this picture) was withdrawn and was cut up at Vic Berry's at Leicester, while the remaining two vehicles replaced the non-powered vehicles in unit 204004. This was only a temporary reprieve and all three vehicles had been withdrawn and scrapped by the end of the decade. |
