There were some quite long distance DMU workings over the Cotswold Line in the 1980s, not really the kind of train that the high density Pressed Steel Class 117s were designed for. L409 (51386, 59496 & 51344) passes Churchill Heath on 9 April 1986 with the 2A48 16:37 Hereford to Reading service. This was my first visit to this location, which became one of my favourite Cotswold Line vantage points, despite the long walk across the fields!
