165003, 165023 & 165006 pass Langford Lane, Wendlebury, on 22 April 2019 with the 1T44 15:41 Marylebone to Oxford Chiltern Railways service. The use of Class 165s in place of the usual Class 168s was because the 168s were needed to strengthen services on Chiltern's route to Birmingham, as extra passengers were expected over the Easter Bank Holiday, due to the closure of the line into Euston for engineering works. A little while earlier, the other option for providing a six coach train (two three car units) had passed by in the other direction. |
