Just a few months after its transfer from Scotland, and the first of many Class 47/7s to be drafted into the Thames Valley to replace Class 50s, 47714 is pictured passing underneath the footbridge at Hinksey (North) on 23 July 1989 with the late running 1F08 11:30 Oxford to Paddington Network SouthEast service. Despite appearances, this is not a trespass shot, but in order to include all of the bridge in the picture it was necessary to hang over the lineside fence in an extremely uncomfortable position!
