165102 passes Churchill Heath on 27 June 1993 with the 1F17 14:38 Great Malvern to Paddington Network SouthEast service. At the time Class 165s were common on the Cotswold Line, having not yet been largely replaced by the then brand new Class 166s. For over two decades the Class 166s worked the majority of the unit diagrams on the route, with the exception of the daily 'all stations' service. However, the mass migration of the 166s to the Bristol area in late 2017, has seen the 165s once again become the dominant type of unit. |
