43208 & 43239 pass Thrupp on 8 January 2020, running as the 0O86 08:55 Ely Papworth Sidings to Eastleigh Arlington. I wouldn't normally go out specifically to photograph light engines, but a pair of debranded LNER HST power cars in Oxfordshire is definitely unusual! The wide trackbed on the right is where the Woodstock branch ran parallel with the mainline from Kidlington station (just past the bridge ion the background) to where it diverged to the west near Shipton-on-Cherwell. |
