168329 Oddington 20 April 2016

Sunrise at Oddington on 20 April 2016. 168329 is bathed in a golden glow as it works the 2T01 06:05 Bicester Village to Oxford Parkway Chiltern Railways service. This is on the recently upgraded and doubled former LMS Bicester to Oxford line, which explains the lack of lineside vegetation and the new lineside fences. Note how the further of the two fences in the background follows the contours of the medieval ridge and furrow field system, which is presumably associated with the nearby Oddington Grange.
