69009 & 701040 Islip 5 August 2025

The sorry story of the massively delayed introduction of the South Western Railway's Class 701 EMUs continues. 69009 Western Consort passes through Islip station on 5 August 2025 with the 5Q76 16:18 Bicester MoD to Wimbledon Park Depot Sidings, conveying 701040. This was running 19 minutes early.
