A once commonplace Western Region suburban scene at Maidenhead, as a pair of Class 117 DMUs meet on 22 November 1986. L415 (51351, 59503 & 51393) waits in the bay platform with the 10:14 Maidenhead to Paddington 'all stations' service, while on the left L425 (51405, 59515 & 51363) & hidden from view on the rear, L130 (55030) arrive with the 09:54 Reading to Paddington, which will now only call at Slough and Ealing Broadway en-route to the capital. This is very early Network SouthEast days, with all the units still in blue and grey livery, but with the distinctive bright red lampposts already in evidence. |
