In the very last of the weak evening sunshine, 43180 accelerates away from Kingham station on 20 May 1987 with the 1B56 18:25 Paddington to Hereford 'Cathedrals Express'. HSTs had taken over from Class 50s on the 'Cathedrals Express' a couple of weeks earlier. This photo is taken from the trackbed of the former Banbury to Cheltenham line, which used to cross the Cotswold Line at this point, with a couple of sharp connecting curves giving access to Kingham station.
