Heading into an uncertain future! 769935 & 769938 pass through Kingham station at high speed on 28 March 2023 with the 5Z69 10:40 Reading Traincare Depot to Long Marston ECS. GWR had planned to lease 19 of these bi-mode EMU conversions from Porterbrook, to replace Class 165 DMUs in the Thames Valley. They should have been in service by early 2021, but proved to be so unreliable during testing that they never entered traffic at all, and the whole project has been one enormous waste of money.
