47711 Bicester Town 6 August 1998

47711 County of Hertfordshire heads away from Bicester North station on 6 August 1998 with the 4C13 11:21 Calvert to Bristol Avon Binliner empties. Annoyingly the train lost its path over the single line to Oxford, and was now running two hours late, with the result that the lighting had become hopelessly head on. This was especially irritating, as for most of that time it was sat at the level crossing in the background of this picture! I have included it here, as a Network SouthEast loco on this working was a bit of a novelty.
