220017 accelerates away from Oxford station on 30 January 2015 with the 1O06 06:37 Nottingham to Bournemouth CrossCountry service. The very next day this train would have had to have started from Banbury, as the line was blocked by a landslide at Harbury Tunnel. Over a decade earlier I had also photographed 220017 leaving Oxford, only on that occasion by standing on the Armco barrier in the car park. The 1W00 08:22 Paddington to Hereford First Great Western HST can be seen in the background. |
