An ordinary picture of a GWR HST at Oxford? Look again, as this HST is passing non-stop through the centre road. 43042 is working the 5Z70 10:00 Worcester Shrub Hill to Paddington ECS on 12 December 2017, a day when a number of Cotswold Line services were cancelled. This was presumably the 1P26 06:42 Hereford to Paddington, which only got as far as Worcester Shrub Hill. The ECS didn't even leave Worcester on time, and was over an hour late here, which was a lot better for the light angle. |
