With the tower of St Mary's church, Charlbury visible in the distance, 43128 leads the 13:12 Great Malvern to Paddington ''Cotswold & Malvern Express' past Cornbury Park on 4 July 1985. At the time this and the balancing down working (the 10:10 Paddington to Great Malvern) were the only HST worked services on the Cotswold Line. At around this time there were reports in the local press of a wallaby being seen on the line in this area, although no local zoo or private animal collection admitted to losing any animals! |
