166209 pulls away from Shipton station on 26 August 1996 with the 07:09 Oxford to Worcester Foregate Street service. Normally this train would not call at Shipton, but on this occasion it stopped especially to pick up Cotswold Line passengers who had booked on the Pathfinder Tours 1Z46 07:10 Swindon to Holyhead 'North Wales Coast Explorer' railtour, which they would board at Worcester. The reason for the going away shot is that it was hopelessly backlit when arriving at the station. |
