The sum of the unit numbers was 449 this evening when I collected a customer off the 19:35 from Westbury at Melksham ... can anyone use their "countdown" skills and tell me what the unusual formation was?

Were they all in use?
Some were probably tagged along so they were in the right place.

Just the front door (front of 153) was opened; passengers were (I think) all in the 2 x 153 at the front
