Choppers on the main line in 2018! Who would have thought it, but they still soldier on.
Two pairs are top and tailing London Underground S8 sets 107 and 108 after modifications at Derby Litchurch Lane, seen here at 15.55 on the 7X08 15.51 Chaddesden Sidings to Banbury. The train would be forwarded on to the LUL depot at West Ruislip.
BR blue 20096 "Ian Goddard 1938-2016" and 20107 lead the way, with Harry Needle Railroad Company's 20314 and 20311 silently following on the rear.
