Your last chance to see a GWR 769 out on the main line is fast approaching.
Today there is a Oxford <> Reading 8-car set swap (5Z71 Oxford UCS - Reading TCD - although it's probably there by now - and 5Z72 return, booked 1235 off Reading TCD).
Then there are a couple of runs, one on Thurs 26th Jan (4-car) and one on Tues 7th Feb (8-car) both over the North Downs. These are to complete the testing of the ASDO system, which might seem a bit pointless, but it's the same system being fitted to the 16x fleet so any test results are transferable to that fleet.
And that, bar any moves to Long Marston, is it as far as GWR 769s are concerned.
