165128 & 166220 pass Ruscombe at speed on 22 July 2012. This is not quite what it might appear at first sight, as it is in fact the 1Z50 09:25 Oxford to Paddington First Great Western special service, booked to run non-stop throughout. Although running with a 1Zxx headcode, it is shown as an ECS working, so I'm not quite sure what is going on here. Slightly out of the ordinary, but not as interesting as the previous day's train running under the 1Z50 headcode, although in infinitely better light! |
