Royal Train loco 47799 Prince Henry catches the last rays of the setting sun as it passes under the M40 motorway at Overthorpe (near Banbury) with a train load of race goers returning from Royal Ascot to Manchester Piccadilly on 16 June 1999, running as the 1Z97 19:05 ex Ascot. Traffic levels on the motorway were obviously not as high in those days, as I haven't had to resort to Photoshop to remove any road vehicles from this view! |
