UK: Two Class 313 EMUs
UK: Two Class 313 EMUs (313046 & 313059) are seen at Cheddington station working train 2A41, the 1004 Euston to Milton Keynes Central.
These Class 313s had been 'borrowed' from the Great Northern route and were in service on WCML Silverlink County services due to the temporary withdrawal from service of the Silverlink Class 321 EMU fleet over the weekend of 13/14th September 2003 for emergency brake system examinations. A special limited timetable was in operation using at least one other pair of Great Northern Class 313s (313060 & 313064) on the WCML along with diesel Class 150 shuttles between Rugby and Northampton and Northampton and Bletchley and three pairs of
Silverlink Class 321/4s which had been checked and allowed back into service. Clip recorded 13th September 2003.

Cheddington is a village and civil parish in the Aylesbury Vale district of Buckinghamshire. The parish has an area of 1,429 acres (578 ha). The village is about 6 miles north-east of Aylesbury and three miles north of Tring in Hertfordshire. The hamlet of Cooks Wharf has grown up where the main road into the village from Pitstone crosses the Grand Union Canal.
The earliest known record of the village is in the Domesday Book in which it is called Cetendone, which is Old English for "Cetta's Hill". The Church of England parish church of Saint Giles was originally Norman. There is also a Methodist church with a large congregation.
Cheddington manor house is a much gabled and half timbered red brick building under a tiled roof, dating from the 16th century.
In 1963 Cheddington featured in the national press as it was near the location of the "Great Train Robbery" of 1963 at Bridego Railway Bridge in the hamlet of Ledburn.
In the last thirty years Cheddington, due to its railway station and easy access to four towns, has more than quadrupled in size. In information released from the 2001 Census, Cheddington has the highest density of people under the age of 35 in the whole of Buckinghamshire.

The British Rail Class 313 is a dual-voltage electric multiple unit (EMU) train built by BREL York Works between February 1976 and April 1977. They were the first second-generation EMUs to be constructed for British Rail and the first British Rail units with both a pantograph for 25 kV AC overhead lines and shoegear for 750 V DC third rail supply. They were the first units in Britain to have multi-function Tightlock couplers, allowing coupling and the connection of control electric and air supplies to be carried out from the cab.
As of 2020 Class 313s remain in use with Southern on services from Brighton and along the South Coast.
