It seems our paths may have crossed twice!

I caught the 1340 from Cholsey to Wallingford, which formed the 1400 departure, had a look round Wallingford station, then returned to Cholsey on the following service (1440?), which you may have used on your return trip.

Looks like we came quite close! If you saw someone walking around with a red Met helmet and a green coffee mug (still really liked how chilled they were and allowed me to take my mug on the train!) then you will have seen me in the wild :)

Once I got off the 1420-ish from Cholsey, I returned my mug and did the necessary bits before riding up to Oxford.

Finally! AT04 was my last of the Active Travel TfW sets to get, a long time waiting for it but I am done with the 153s yet again. Another part of the massive TfW fleet complete 8-)

I was going after that new 197 as well, however I just couldn’t be bothered!

Good stuff, I'm waiting for AT06 to come back into service to try and hunt that one down.

On that route, my book says I hadn’t had 153382 either. That I don’t quite believe, I need to do some research as I’m not sure if it’s an ex-Wessex Trains one or not

I've had it a few times when it was with Great Western

First thing that came up on a search for 153382 was a photo of it in that black and gold livery it carried many years ago. So that confirms that, I’ll have had it before, it was clearly just an error in my book :)

Probably had it loads of times but of course, many notes were lost during the great clear out a few years back.
