An Entity of Type : dbkwik:resource/kx5R2XfJQ-HI-rdH5u9J_g==, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

Sets worked over most of the Western Region, notable early use being the last passenger train over the Plympton branch. Minehead, Calne and Bridport branches that have since closed were also served by the sets, which also covered main line services in company with the Swindon Cross Country sets. Visually, the body design was based on the Swindon Cross-Country sets, but with a Derby cab. The fleet was displaced by the 'Turbo' Class 165 and Class 166 fleets in 1992.

abstract
  • Sets worked over most of the Western Region, notable early use being the last passenger train over the Plympton branch. Minehead, Calne and Bridport branches that have since closed were also served by the sets, which also covered main line services in company with the Swindon Cross Country sets. Visually, the body design was based on the Swindon Cross-Country sets, but with a Derby cab. As with most asbestos contaminated stock, there were heavy withdrawals, but a number were rebuilt internally after asbestos removal. The rebuilt sets were frequently used on express services from Reading to Gatwick Airport along the Reading-Gatwick link and on stopping services to Tonbridge. Units stabled at Redhill Station overnight would find themselves being fuelled at Selhust Depot, working parcels services to London Bridge and at Clapham Junction working the early morning service to Kensington Olympia. The fleet was displaced by the 'Turbo' Class 165 and Class 166 fleets in 1992.
