Having spent its entire forty-years working life in the north London area carrying millions of commuters in and out of the capital, here 315816 is making its final journey to the scrap man at Booth's in Masborough (Rotherham). It is seen on the down fast line at Victoria bridge just south of Roade being towed as the 5Q25 by 57301 'Goliath'. I think that it's safe to say that the railways have had their money's worth out of these BREL (York) built units and one wonders if their replacements, the Bombardier Aventras, will do such a good job?
