After picking up passengers at Oxford, 47712 Pride of Carlisle & 47832 Solway Princess accelerate northwards towards Oxford North Junction and try to blot out the background with their exhaust, as they work the Pathfinder Tours 1Z33 05:54 Eastleigh to Carlisle 'Lakes & Borders Explorer' railtour on 16 July 2011. To add to the generally misty look, it had just started to rain. At least the train was only running a couple of minutes behind time, which meant I got back to the car before the rain really set in with a vengeance.
