47727 & 47749 Kidlington 4 June 2009

47727 Rebecca & 47749 Demelza approach the site of Kidlington station with the 6Z48 13:05 Burton upon Trent to Dollands Moor Colas Rail steel empties on 4 June 2009. Normally this train runs exactly to time, but today it was a few minutes late, which ironically meant that the sun had disappeared behind a cloud. Of course there was full sun when it should have appeared! The occupation bridge in the background, although now much overgrown, is still a good location for southbound trains. Compare this view with the same train three weeks later taken from that bridge.
