Trainspotting West Midlands Trains Super Sprinter Leyland Bus DMU Class 153 334, built between 1987 and 1988 and allocated to TY - Tysley Birmingham TMD, standing at platform 6 Bletchley station ready to operate the 21:01 service to Bedford on the evening of the 18th April 2018.
Compare the newer Supersprinter above with the photo below of British Rail Bubble Car DMU 55011, bearing a small Network Southeast decal, operating the same service in the late 1980's.
Note the weeds growing on platforms 5 and 6. A common sight during the days of the run-down and neglect of British Rail by government.
