In the 1980s, Cotswold Line local services were usually worked by Pressed Steel Class 117 DMUs, with occasional appearances by the Birmingham Railway Carriage & Wagon Company Class 118s, Gloucester Railway Carriage & Wagon Company Class 119s, or the Metro Cammell Class 101s. In virtually all cases these were Western Region allocated sets, but here we see a Midland Region Class 101 set, complete with West Midlands branding, passing Cornbury Park (near Charlbury) on 26 April 1984. 53324 is leading the 2C74 14:15 Oxford to Hereford service.
