47709 Culham 21 June 1991

47709 slowly approaches Culham on 21 June 1991 with the 1F52 18:08 Paddington to Oxford Network SouthEast service. It is preparing to stop at the station, something normally only DMUs did at the time. However, this train called at all stations after Reading. The loco had been transferred to Old Oak Common from Scotland a few months earlier, but unlike several other locos that made that journey, it didn't continue working in the Thames Valley in tatty ScotRail livery, but quickly received a repaint into Network SouthEast colours.
