165125 Oxford 27 June 1998

165125 passes the partly completed new car park at Oxford station on 27 June 1998, as it works the 09:43 Oxford to Didcot Parkway Thames Trains service. Just visible in the background is the approaching Worksop Open Day Committee 1Z58 06:05 Worksop to Weymouth 'Wessex Wanderer' railtour, led by 58047 & 58039. You can tell this is the era of Railtrack, as even the main running lines are home to various weeds, whilst the 'West Midlands' sidings on the left are completely submerged in a forest of buddleia!
