08803 was Oxford's resident shunter for a long time from the 1970s until the early 1990s. In recognition of its long association with the city, it received the name Isis in November 1990. This was long before Isis acquired its modern meaning, and is merely the local name for the stretch of the River Thames that passes through Oxford. It is pictured at Oxford on 28 June 1991, wearing its final livery of departmental grey. |
