A slightly odd combination of colours that was surprisingly not at all uncommon in the Network SouthEast region in the early 1990s. Parcels red liveried 47703 The Queen Mother comes off the single track Cotswold Line at Wolvercote Junction on 18 August 1991 with the 1A68 16:12 Hereford to Paddington service. The reason for the seemingly inappropriate colour scheme is that the loco had just be transferred from Crewe's RXLC parcel pool to Old Oak Common's NWRA pool. It was only to stay at Old Oak for a few months before transferring to similar Network SouthEast passengers workings on the West of England line. At the time the Cotswold Line only had loco hauled trains at the weekend.
