A close up view of 165106 as it accelerates away from the Twyford stop on 17 April 2008 with the 09:19 Reading to Paddington First Great Western service and passes through the cutting at Ruscombe. The First Great Western 'Neon' livery does suit these units very well, and although they seem incapable of actually running the trains to time, FGW do at least keep them clean. In the late 1990s it was quite common to see the white roofs of these units (then in Network SouthEast livery) badly discoloured with ground in exhaust soot. Probably not the wisest colour choice for DMU roofs, but this picture does at least prove that it is possible to keep them looking presentable.
