L409 (51386, 59496 & 51344) slowly moves off from platform 2 at Oxford on 24 July 1990 with the 2C66 17:35 Reading to Bicester Town Network SouthEast service. All three vehicles of this set are no more, although each met its end at a different location. 51386 was initially preserved, but was cut up at Dereham in 2002, likewise 59496 was at first saved, but then was cut at Rotherham as late as 2008. 51344 was disposed off at MC Metals, Glasgow in 1999. Note the newly completed station building and footbridge (which replaced the original subway). |
