47447 arrives at Oxford station on 25 September 1987 with the 1A10 06:04 Hereford to Paddington service. Although rebuilt in 1971, the station retained this section of Great Western Railway canopy at the north end of platform 1. At this time the bay platform on the right was not in regular passenger use, having previously been used for trains from Fairford, until that branch line closed in 1962. The water tower on the left marks the site of Oxford MPD (81F). A Class 47 can be seen on the stabling point.
