47828 speeds through the tree lined cutting near Steeple Aston (between Banbury and Oxford) with the 1Z39 07:04 Derby to Bath Northern Belle on 21 September 2013. Out of sight at the rear is sister loco 47501. New signalling troughing is obviously about to be laid. Let's hope Network Rail do a better job with that than the lineside fencing. The farmer was telling me that they didn't complete the job properly, allowing one of his cows to stray onto the line! |
