Just after sunrise on 4 September 1987, 47194 finds a small patch of light amid the shadows, as it passes Oxford with a train of four wheel tanks. As there is nothing in the working timetable around this time, this is presumably one of the 'as requited' Stanlow to Littlemore oil trains. Behind it, the 1M09 05:50 Paddington to Liverpool Lime Street service is arriving at the station.
