Class 203 1032 thumps through Charlbury station with the SEG/RCTS Hastings to Kidderminster 'Severn Valley Rambler' railtour on 13 October 1984. After seeing 33207 & 33025 pass this spot on 23 August 2008, I had mentioned to several people that they were not the rarest Southern Region traction to pass this way. This is possibly the only time a Hastings unit has traversed the Cotswold Line (confirmation anybody?), and rather like the 33 tour happened in appalling light, which was no joke when using Kodachrome 64! Note that this is before the platform was extended. |
