Having just crossed over the River Thames, 180103 approaches Appleford at speed on 30 June 2015 with the 2Y94 15:53 Worcester Shrub Hill to Didcot Parkway First Great Western service. This was running ten minutes behind another Cotswold Line train led by 43003. Both were running very late, and should have been twenty minutes apart. Still a very small gap for the route.
