319007 passes Horley on 21 September 1991 with the 11:48 Bedford to Brighton Network SouthEast service. This unit ended up being converted into a bi-mode Class 769 for Transport for Wales. After just a couple of years use on the Rhymney line, it was withdrawn in early 2023. A ridiculous waste of money, but a bargain compared with the total fiasco of the GWR Class 769 conversion programme, where none of the converted units entered traffic. |
