In between their regular trips to Worcester and back, Great Western's 180s can sometimes be found on more mundane services, more usually associated with Class 165 and 166 DMUs.
180.108 passed Lower Basildon, north of Pangbourne, with 1D53, the 17:18 from Paddington to Oxford, on 10 June 2014. This rush-hour service ran fast to Reading, with only one stop at Maidenhead, then called at all stations to Didcot.
