By Summer 2002 there were very few remaining loco hauled Virgin Cross Country services through Oxford. One of those still booked for Class 47 haulage was the 1M02 06:00 Paddington to Manchester Piccadilly service, seen here at Aynho on a very misty 19 July 2002. The sun was trying unsuccessfully to burn through the murk, but the Police livery of 47829 certainly brightens up an otherwise dull scene! |
