Running 15 minutes late, whilst deputising for a HST, 47599 passes Ascott-under-Wychwood on 30 May 1987 with the 1A22 07:40 Hereford to Paddington 'Cathedrals Express'. The substitution is slightly ironic, as HSTs had replaced most loco hauled workings over the Cotswold Line only a few weeks earlier.
