47452 pulls away from Charlbury station on 8 May 1987 with the penultimate up loco-hauled 1A18 07:00 Hereford to Paddington 'Cathedrals Express'. HSTs took over this service from the following Monday. Although there is still some kind of a view from Cornbury Park bridge, a little to the south, this vantage point at the top of the cutting has long since disappeared amid the bushes.
