A panoramic view of the north end of Hinksey Yard on 3 March 1984. 50020 Revenge heads south with the 14:15 Oxford to Paddington service. The Oxford skyline in the background is still free from the visually dominant Ice Rink which was to open later in the year. Hinksey Yard was constructed during World War 2, but by the 1980s had become very little used, however over twenty years after this picture was taken it is once again busy, in its new role as a ballast stockpile.
