When the IET fleet started falling apart in May 2021, GWR had to cobble together an emergency timetable using other rolling stock to replace the defective units. The hourly Paddington - Bedwyn IET service was recast with Class 387 EMUs running from Paddington to Newbury and a 165 shuttling back and forth between Newbury and Bedwyn. 165.116 passed Little Bedwyn with 2T23, the 16:15 Newbury - Bedwyn stopper, on 23 June 2021.
