LPPC DSL BW 0893 
 A quiet weekday afternoon in 1976 on the down main platform as a Class 50 heads London-bound through Slough on a set of Mark 2As and 2Bs. It is throbbing loudly at around 90mph as the driver applies power to maintain the momentum. Amazingly, into the third decade of BR, the station still has work for a Class 08 350hp shunter as pilot.
