47450 approaches Banbury on 24 April 1984 with the 1O01 06:00 Derby to Poole service. I would see this loco return later in the day on the 1M23 return working. Banbury's stone terminal was very basic in 1984, with no buildings whatsoever, and just an excavator to unload the wagons (vacuum braked 16 tonners in this case). If the rolling stock and stone depot have changed out of all recognition since this photo was taken, the one constant is unfortunately the rather un-photogenic pylon and high voltage power lines that stride across the scene!
