50024 Vanguard passes Hinksey Yard on 17 August 1988 with the 1F32 14:15 Paddington to Oxford Network SouthEast service. The complete train is the same version of the NSE colour scheme, a situation that could certainly not be guaranteed at the time. Vanguard is wearing the revised NSE colour scheme, but in the original lighter shade of blue, therefore matching the coaches. It wore this livery for a less than two years, before having the darker version applied.
