Approaching journey's end, the 1D31 11.52 Paddington to Oxford passes Radley under grey skies that were just starting to produce yet more rain! The train is formed by one of the five-car class 802 IETs number 802022. Not so long ago this would have been an HST or even a Turbo unit, and, before that a set of coaching stock hauled by a class 47 or even a 50! You decide on what you would prefer, needless to say, for me it would not be the IET because of its awfull seating.
