Introduced in the mid-1980s for use on regional routes. Now approaching 40 years old and almost all remain in service. These British Rail designed units must therefore be considered to be something of a success story, as they continue to form the backbone of many of the regional services. Although, they are probably not well received when Transport for Wales deploy them on some journeys from South Wales to Manchester via the Marches line. This is unit No. 150234 on a service from Exmouth to Paignton.

A feature of Milton Keynes is the network of cycle and pedestrian paths that are designed to avoid major roads. Here a tree-lined path leads down from the bridge under Saxon Street into the Oldbrook area with houses on Boycott Avenue visible ahead.
