L205 arrives at Heyford station on 6 July 1992 with the 2C59 17:15 Banbury to Reading Network SouthEast service. A couple of months earlier, this set had become a Class 101/117 hybrid, after DMBS 51443 had been withdrawn. To replace it, DTCL 54385 had received Class 117 DMBS 51367 from set L429 as its new partner. In addition to the different shade of NSE blue, the aluminium windows frames of the Class 101 immediately contrast with the 117 vehicle. This combination would last for little more than a year, before 54385 was also withdrawn.
