37069 & 37716 approach Banbury on 2 April 2017 with the 5Z79 15:00 Crewe Down Refuge Siding to Eastleigh Arlington ECS. This was the loco and stock off the previous day's Pathfinder Tours 1Z77 10:35 Crewe to Long Marston 'Round Robin' railtour. The train is running along the up relief line, as it would be held a Banbury in order to allow a CrossCountry Voyager to pass. The clouds in the background add to the picture, but the ones off to the left, near the sun, very nearly ruined the picture. Perhaps I was in luck with the sun because of who I was stood next to! |
