47600 accelerates away from Oxford station on 24 April 1984 with the 1C62 18:07 Paddington to Hereford service. Perfect evening lighting, a rail blue 47 on a rake of blue and grey Mk 2 coaches, what more could you ask for? Well, a black domino headcode panel and no off centre headlight actually, but that would be a few years previously! Unfortunately this location although not actually on railway land was an easy unofficial access point and so naturally has now been fenced off, making this viewpoint impossible. |
