47439 passes the site of Bletchingdon station on 17 June 1983 with the 1M07 13:48 Brighton to Manchester Piccadilly service. The station closed to passengers in 1964, and freight the following year, but two decades later it was still possible to drive into the site, and photograph northbound trains passing underneath the roadbridge. This view is impossible today, as the whole area is covered by an industrial estate. The chimney of Shipton-on-Cherwell Cement Works in the background, has also gone.
