L403 (51336, 59488 & 51378) approaches Charlbury on 27 March 1982 with the 2A29 13:30 service from Hereford. As this was a Saturday, this train would terminate at Reading, whereas on a weekday it would continue on to Paddington. At this time there were still several loco hauled trains on the Cotswold Line, with DMUs normally confined to the local workings. I wonder if anyone ever used this train to travel all the way from Hereford to London, or instead retimed their journey to use one of the quicker Class 50 hauled trains?
