47465 Minerva pulls away from Oxford station on 2 October 1991 with the 1F39 09:20 Network SouthEast service to Paddington. With a predominance of NSE liveried 47s working these trains, it was always worth while getting pictures of locos in any other liveries. Blue, large logo and parcels sector colour schemes turned up, and in fact this loco had only recently been transferred from Crewe's parcels fleet. Its time on Thames Valley services was very limited however, as just over a month after this picture was taken, it was withdrawn, never to work again.
