Chiltern Railways Trains diesel multiple unit, UK passenger train Class 168003, photographed as it waits to depart Banbury rail station in 2012.

Clubman UK diesel multiple units, such as Class 168003, were constructed between 1998 and 2004, with the earliest examples entering service on the 20th May 1998.

In all, 19 trainsets were built with 2/3/4 cars per set.  With a top speed of 100 mph (160 km/h), 4-car unit Class 168003 offers 272 seats with air-conditioning throughout.

The 168 Clubman Class of dmu can be found operating on the Chiltern Main Line, London to Aylesbury Line, London Marylebone - Oxford, Princes Risborough - Aylesbury Line.


Network South East, then operated by British Rail, originally planned the Class 168 for their expansion of services on the Chiltern Main Line to Birmingham Snow Hill or New Street stations. In the event, privatisation put and end to the Network SouthEast.

Leaving a nearly deserted Bescot station, British Rail Class 304032 electric multiple unit, (EMU) commences its journey towards Birmingham New Street on the 6th March 1990.

 

No safety barriers in these days; obvious by my photographing position off the end of the platform.

Built at British Rail's Wolverton Works, Buckinghamshire, within a stone's throw from Wolverton station, the Class 304 electric multiple units originally classified as AM4 units - 45 constructed in all - were built in 1960 for use on suburban services on the first phases of the West Coast Main Line electrification between Crewe and Manchester/Liverpool/Rugby.

Introduced into service in 1960 and refurbished in 1980, the Class 304 units were to be found operating on the West Coast Main Line, Crewe to Manchester Line, Manchester, South Junction and Altrincham Railway, Chase Line.

The Class 304 electric multiple units came to the end of their working lives in 1996 and every example of the class were scrapped.
