121034 and 121020 sit stabled at Chiltern's Aylesbury Depot with resident shunter ex. 01509. The two "Bubble Car" units class 121s were originally numbered as 55XXX . They were built by Pressed Steel at Linwood in Scotland for the Western region of British Railways. It was thought that their use would help to save the branches that they were designed for and, to an extent, they did. The shunter was built in 1963 and named 'Lesley' and is used for shunting units around the Aylesbury depot.
