47002 Sea Eagle passes through Kings Sutton station on 17 March 1990 with the 4O81 07:10 Coatbridge to Southampton Maritime freightliner. The short load is typical of the period, as is the general lack of lineside vegetation. Kings Sutton station was formerly the junction for the cross country line to Kingham and Cheltenham, which closed in stages between 1951 and 1964.
