Working 5Q41 08:56 West Ealing EMU Sidings to Greenford, which is seen after the reversal at Hanwell Bridge Loop.
This was a former London Transport 'D-Stock' unit, from the District line, and converted to run on modern diesel engines by Vivarail. After the company ceased trading, GWR acquired some of the units and 'knowhow', and have pushed on with the battery-conversion of this unit.
